**I am like other girls**
I am smart, and I am brave.
I follow rules, and I misbehave.
I have hair on my body, and I shave.
I am humble, and I rave.
I have dreams, and fears,
and I took, and I gave,
and I broke hearts, and I feel pain,
and I make mistakes, and I rise again.
Don’t complement me
by telling me
I am not like other girls;
because you only see the fallacies
in those other girls’ humanity.
Do not diminish my sisters
to raise my capacity-
all of us have the duality
of honour and shame.
I am like other girls
AND like other boys;
because we’re all the same.
- Farida D.
