What Girls Are Made Of
They say what girls are made of
Are sugar, spice, everything nice.
That saying...
All a lie.
Girls are steel, puppy dog tails,
Who don't have cares in the world.
Others are gold, never get discovered; only fool's gold is taken.
They say what girls are made of
Are glass fr agm ents,
Cooking,
Feelings.
They have no idea if we tried, we'd shatter glass ceilings.
Diamonds,
Copper,
Iron and
Steel,
Unbreakable, lovable, durable.
We shine like stars in the sky,
We are stronger because
We were born
To be beaten; we're made to bend...
But yet, we concede our world to men.

Diamonds, copper, iron, gold, and steel, born to be beaten and made to bend, I'll come back stronger than you can ever comprehend.
