It would have been fun being a girl.
Dressing up,
Slumber parties,
Dating.
It must have been fun to be a girl.
Loving pink.
Loving frilly thrills.
Loving flowery things.
And it would be okay.
Acceptable.
It wasn't okay to be a girl.
Not right. Bad.
Supposed to be a boy.
Act tough, take control. Big girls don't cry.
