Adeleke Adeite Poet Alliteration

If I Were a Girl

If I were a girl, I would not 
be fooled with flowers,
I will not be tempted to 
trade my treasures for 
towers.
I will wake up each day 
wielding wells of wisdom,
and will never fail to fight 
for my feminine freedom.
I will go to bed each night 
kissing my kingdom
as I storm the stars and 
never bow to boredom.
If I were a girl, I will not 
flaunt my features for fun,
I will shun shadows and to 
the Rainbow I will run.
I will stand still in the awe 
of the silent stream,
and never get scared or 
scream in my dream.
I will get the mind and 
might of a mild mother,
so my future babies will 
never have to bother.
I will wax wonderful so I 
can become a worthy 
woman,
and make sure my 
soulmate is a marvelous 
man.
If I were a girl, I will not 
have a joule of jealousy
nor have my heart in the 
hall of hate and hypocrisy.
