Analysis of anything at all
as girls,
we are taught to hate ourselves
as girls,
we are taught to accept love freely
if you can’t be a prize
to a man
you can’t be anything
at all
even if the love hurts
even if the love bruises
even if the love strikes
if you can’t be a prize
to a man
you can’t be anything
at all
