Normal For My Age br by Barbara Lynn Terry br br She looked at the way I was dressed, br And said that I was cute, br That experimenting was normal, br For my age. br br Then she said that I shouldn't br Do it anymore because people br Would think bad things about me br That girls, boys just cannot be. br br It didn't make any sense what she said, br And I did my best to be who I have to be br In this life of being a girl. br A life I didn't ask for. br br But I will be me no matter what, br Or who says different, because br I just have to be this girl in my soul br So I can be happy, complete and whole. br br After years and years of living as the girl I am, br I have found that living my life br Is normal; br for my age.
