Being a girl is harder than it seems
More than dresses and makeup dreams
It’s living a life where there is a whole world to impress
Where you have hundreds of smiles to address
in a world full of noise, where everyone roars,
Except one which is yours, a silence restores.
You’re told to be strong, but not loud
To stand on your own but blend in with the crowd
A voice that’s both soft, but demands respect,
Yet still, you face doubts that you must deflect
The weight of your worth is measured in parts
In actions, in looks and matters of heart
You are taught to be kind but never too weak
To be bold but not let your emotion speak
You’re told to be careful, that the worlds not kind
While wearing your hearts and thoughts inside your mind
The world sees your face, not what you feel inside
The quiet strength you’re told to hide
But through all the struggles, the tears and the fights
You shine like the stars in the darkest of nights
Being a girl is not what you see
It’s about the battles and all what you’ve been
So here’s to the girls who stand tall and fight
Who keep moving forward even when it’s not right
For every challenge they face, they make their own way
And in the end they shine brighter each day
