Recently, I start thinking about Roxanne, who lived with both of her parents in a big rusty mansion near the river. Who had only one sister, but many brothers. Who got sad because people said mean things about her family.
Roxanne lived in a whole different world than ours. In her world, the animals could speak and the flowers could sing. In her world, the water is orange, the grass is white and the sky is green. In her world, the men must stay at home and take care of the house and children, while the women work.
This girl was sad, because her brothers were getting bullied. Even her mother neglected her sons, because she was too busy.
At night, little Roxanne climbed to the roof and wondered if there is another world, where she and family could live happily together. Where she could play freely with her friends, girls and boys. Where girls and boys could be equal.
But litlle Roxanne won't stay little forever. She would grow up. And when she grows up, her thought of going to that other world would vanish. For she is a girl, and that world she's living in is the best for a girl.
