Can You Imagine
Can you imagine:
Being a little girl,
Watching all the other girls
Talk about the boys
And all you wanted to do,
Was play a game with the boys,
Not talk about how cute they were.
Can you imagine:
Not understanding why
The other kids said you were strange
Called you names,
Said you should just go
And be a boy,
'Cause you weren't any girl.
Can you imagine:
Sleeping over with a friend,
Smiling, laughing,
But once they left the next day,
You wondered why you felt empty inside,
Why you wish they'd just stay.
Can you imagine:
Just hitting puberty
And not having many friends.
You just didn't fit in,
With everybody else.
