Being a girl is not a barrier 
I can do what he can do 
I can reach where he can reach 
And no one can stop me
Because l know l can 
They fire words like bullets at me 
Trying to mislead me 
But l will still keep on going 
Till I succeed in my life 
And I’m sure I will make it 
Yes l can become a doctor 
Not just someone’s mother 
I can make it and become an accountant 
Not someone’s servant 
So do not disturb me but help me to
succeed 
Because l have a right to do so 
I can reach a lot of places 
And help bring change to my country 
Being a girl does not mean I’m a failure 
Because I know I’m a warrior and l know l
can make it
