If I Was A Girl

If I was a girl
I would be more
Sensitive
I would learn to
Forgive be more
Positive and change
How I live

If I was girl I
Would trust my heart more
Though it may get torn apart
I won't close that door
Because my soul is sore
I would just pray the hurt away
If I was a girl

See for me the joy
Of being a boy
Or man is tough to
Understand
I am seeing that we
Are emotionless beings
That's why I wonder
How it would be
If I was her and
She was me
In that moment
Would she truly
Own it
Would she see
My point of view
Would she understand
Why a man is man
Would she changed
The plan and make me
Brand new
So
When she leaves
Would I believe
That its OK to bleed

If I was girl would I
Go on a shopping spree
And buy all things
To make me pretty
Would I get my
Hair done
So someone or
Anyone notice me?
Would I get a medi
And a pedi and
A little red teddy
So I would be ready
To paint the town
Cause Victoria's Secret
Has finally been found
Would I know that
It's okay to try on
All the shoes in the
Store until my feet
Are sore as I fall
To the floor
Unable to laugh
Anymore
Happy in my own
World
If I was a girl


Now if that could happen
Would there be
More joy for me as a
Boy?
Because in the moments
I was a girl
There was happiness
In my world
I was so positive
So many reasons to
Live
Understand that
Because I am man
Being emotional
Is not part of the plan
Sad to say it's not in
My DNA
You will never hear
Me say
This
I wish I was a girl?

Author's Note

Ever since I heard Beyonce's song If I Was A Boy I wondered from strictly from a poetic side what would that look like and feel like. After the experience would I be the same? What if she could be me I remain same?

Yes dragons dragging to the places that were created by the breath I burn to death nothing but ashes left at least 212 degrees scorched me....

I chuckled at this one Rico. I like the dichotomy in it. Such different creatures we are, men and women. I like your more light humor recently. ~Jennesis
