If I was a Boy.

If I was a boy I'd stand at the loo
And splash round the seat like the other boys do.
I'd use my boy toy to wee up against trees,
And not even care whether somebody sees.

I'd throw myself into my work, without feeling,
And stand on my mates to break through the glass ceiling!
At night, lying restless, I wouldn't count sheep,
I'd play with my wife, then fall quickly asleep.

But, what if my mind were still that of a girl?
What if the things I saw made my hair curl?
Would I still sit when I went to the loo?
Would I dare do what the other girls do?

What would I do for the friends that I miss?
Would I still comfort them? Cuddle them? Kiss?
What would I do if I hadn't a clue?
If I just could not do what it is boys do?

What would I do when I'm frightened or blue?
If I needed a hug, or a cry in the loo?
Or would I hide all my true feelings, and ask
About cars, drink and football, take on a mask!

Would I get dirty, drive recklessly, yell?
Would I do, could I do, how can I tell?
