I would never ever want to be a boy. <br />I have many reasons, and yet none at all. <br />And isn't that how something is solidified? <br /> <br />I enjoy being a girl <br />I like smelling nice <br />like baby powder <br />nutmeg <br />vanilla <br />no one wonders if I'm 'funny' <br /> <br />I like my smaller hands <br />I couldn't have these hands as a man <br />without people wondering <br />about the size of... <br />other things <br /> <br />I like being able to know the difference <br />between puse and pink <br />and I like not being made fun of <br />because of it <br /> <br />I love the way my mind works <br /> <br />I like being able to: <br />express my emotions freely <br />write madly <br />talk about recipes incessantly <br />stare at pretty things <br />enjoy all kinds of art- <br />no holds barred <br />without being thought of as a 'wuss' <br /> <br />I like being able to read people <br />I like being able to decipher one emotion from another <br />I like being able express those emotions <br />without any special training <br /> <br />I like the softness of my skin <br />the curve of my hips <br />and the shape of my lips <br />I like being vain about my hair <br /> <br />I like being able to make a dollar <br />out of 15 cents... <br /> <br />I love being able to remember where things are. <br /> <br />I love knowing that if I am a mother one day, <br />I could be the influence of a nation. <br /> <br />A Nation <br /> <br />I love being a girl! <br />Did I say that yet? <br /> <br />Sometimes, <br />I feel sorry for the guys <br />they have it rough.<br /><br />Noemi Lee<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/femme-2/
