And when times like these hit, I want to go out. I want to visit my favourite place, The sea. It’s two a.m. and then I remember, I’m a girl… And on days like these, I want to go out. To work out. Run from the world around. It’s seven a.m. and then I remember, I’m a girl. And on moments like these, I want to go out. Take myself for a walk before work. It’s five p.m. and then I remember, I’m a girl. And with thoughts like these, I don’t want to exist, As a girl in this world, I don’t want to live. Because every boy thinks I should leave. And with words like these, I make known to the world, It’s the twenty-first century, And I’m still not free. -Anastasia Raf
