Being a girl

Take off my glasses. Put some contacts in. Put some makeup on. A lil eyeline here some lipgloss there. Do my hair should i curl it or make it straight? Some guys like the messy bun. They say girls who wear those are a lot more fun. Find an outfit that shows enough skin to show that I can be wild but enough that keeps me classy. Should I wear red or blue? Being a girl is fun. Black or white? Heels or sneakers? Sandals or wedges? Decision Decisions. Being a girl is fun. Will he talk to me today? Will he notice I'm here? Should i say hi or bump into him as if it were a mistake? Being a girl is fun. He talks to the other pretty girls but avoid me like the plague. Is there something in my teeth? Whats with this boy? Being a girl is fun. Should I eat a salad or a big mac. Wait he probably thinks I'm fat i should have a salad instead. Wish my boobs were bigger or that I had a bigger butt..wait guys like that right? Being a girl is fun. He likes the "it-girl". He dates her. What does she have that I don't? Shes mean to me and hates my guts now he does the same. Just my luck. Being a girl is fun. Trying hard to fit in don't want them to think I'm different. Whats a football? Oh yeah i like to drink. Im not even 18. Being a girl is fun. See that girl over there? She a loser tries to hard to look her best when she is just a poser not like the rest. Being a girl is fun. Skinny jeans, heels as high as 6 inches, lots of products in your hair to make it look just right. Waking up an extra hour early just to shave your legs or to put extra effort into your make up. Being a girl is fun. Never getting the guy you want because other girls want him just as bad but he only wants one thing. One thing i'm not willing to lose. Being a girl is a joke. Disrespect and rumors flying around about you being a slut when in reality your still a virgin a newbe to this world of chaos. Practically a baby yet sent out to make others feel bad. Being a girl makes me cry. You have to try hard to get the guy to notice you. Instead of being yourself from the start. High School is a joke. Nothing but constant drama and judgemental people. Time to be myself and learn who my real friends are. Make up off, glasses on, hair in a ponytail lets enter this evil thing called High School and show those mean girls who the real ones are. Stand up for ourselves and never let anyone bring us down. Being a girl ROCKS!
