I wish I was a guy (Old poem)

I wish I was born a guy instead

Never to date every 28th

Or buy a bunch of liners

Never too weak, never too delicate

Never to waste an hour or so

Looking at the mirror and the wardrobe

Never to let a frustrated sigh out

For a saggy tummy or an unsatisfying waistline

Never to feel so vulnerable, protecting chastity

How I wish I was a guy

I'd cherish all girls with all my might

I'd avert temptation's stern gaze with all my will

I'd belt out love songs for one girl with all staunchness
I'd become her impregnable shield
I'd battle as a gallant spear, devoid of fears
I'd hone myself so I'd be far from just strong
I'd be anything as long as that anything protects

I'd be the guy
This world's me would want by her side
