Live and Let Live!
I'll live the way I wish to.
It doesn't matter whether I am a girl.
I too am human, like everyone around.
So just stop this injustice.
Why am I always expected to sacrifice for others?
Now I won't. I know my responsibilities, and my duties.
And sacrifices are nowhere in the list.
I'll live the way I wish to.
I wish to fly.
I wish to dream.
I wish to live my life to the fullest.
I too have an ambition.
I too wish to reach my goal.
So stop pulling me back.
I very well know how to lead my life.
And I'll live the way I wish to.
Though I am physically weaker but I have the power to give life.
Stay away!
If I can give life, then I can take one too.
I am not just a thing to be used and thrown.
So limit your mentality up to you or else,
it wont take me any time
to destroy you, to destroy your ego!
And again,
I'LL LIVE THE WAY I WISH TO!
-A teen

It isn't about me, but those girls, who get to face the bitter truth of life, that for their society, they donot matter as much as they expect, and aren't given the respect they deserve.
And, this is for those chauvinists to realise, that no girl is any less than boys and infact they are the most precious gifts by god.
So just let them have their share of joy in life!
