Comments at school,
Getting to me again.
I hear the words they say,
Talking behind my back.
Snickering.
Laughing.
At my expense,
Because I’m not they’re idea of
“Beautiful.”
They say I’m too white,
That I’m too small,
Why?
What gets in the way?
My eyes, green with
Brown and blue…
Odd they say.
Too small?
I thought that
“Size doesn’t matter?”
Do they know what
They’re doing to me?
It hurts.
They notice my hair,
Long with a lil wave.
They say it’s “beautiful”
But the beauty is lost
Once they get to my face . . .

Those girls on TV don't know that being
36-24-36 doesn't mean a thing unless
you got the face to back it up

Naw, you have a cute face. I've told you that before.

And a cute smile, so smile, Tamma.

Don't listen to them Tamma.....your heart is beautiful...and last i saw (which was about 2 seconds ago) you were pretty!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
