Found out Yinka was also seeing my boyfriend
She knew he was with me but still did anyway
Insisted he break up with me to be with her
Setting me up for heartbreak she couldn’t take too
Why do you think you deserve that and not me?
I’m merely a girl like you, or - don’t you agree?

Pelumi was the hostess at the restaurant
I went out for a date and she chose to ruin my mood
Why?
Simply because she hated to serve a girl like her
She hated seeing me have a good time while she stood in uniform.
Forgetting I could be in her place too
But I’m just a girl like you- don’t you agree?

My neighbor’s wife, Mummy J, hates my guts!
Not that I offended her, or slept with her husband
She just enjoys taunting him for being kind to me
She avoids my greetings like they sting
Would it kill her to just say hello or smile
But she doesn’t seem to care or see-
I’m just a girl like her.

Funke- my boyfriend’s sister, correct fine babe!
She doesn’t hate me at all, she loves my gifts
But she hates to see her brother in love with me.
“She’s too fine and high maintenance”. She said
But sis…you’re also praying for huzband o.
Why can’t you just be happy for me, and wish yourself the same
I’m just a girl that wants to be happy- don’t you agree?

Nonso, my sister, wined and dined with me during the day
and she licked my baby all night! [Gasps for air]
She gave me tips on how to keep my man and used the same format- for my baby
I shared my beautiful gifts with her because she had no boo, but thought mine would do just fine
Smiled to my face but plotted behind my back- because of a man
But I’m just a girl like you…
or do you think I’m immune to betrayal?

Now, Girl’s girl just became a thing and trend in 2025
But “some” don’t deserve the title.
We all know the struggle-
the pains we collectively feel and face as girls
the quiet ache,
the sleepless night,
the mirror talks and affirmations,
the silent wars we fight just to stay soft
I’d rather hold space for the next girl beside me as my sister- not my rival
Because we are all goddesses alike
We fall
We rise
We hurt
We heal
We shine ✨
We’re the source of creations
So when you see me, don’t pretend like we’re so different in the end.
For in my eyes, I’m a girl like you
I always was
I always will be

Don’t you agree?
