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 |

Naw, you have a cute face. I've told you that before. And a cute smile, so smile, Tamma. ~Allan Build a man a fire, and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. |

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. |
