Paint me like I am.
Not some materalized girl.
Who wears fake jewelry
and childish stickers.
No bright flashing signs.

Call me Clarissa.
Don't stamp a L
on my forehead.
For Lora or Lola.
Or Loser.
Dont paster a N
on my chest
for Nebraska or Nevada.
Or Negroe.
because I'm Rissa,
not the color of
my skin...
Even so,
I'd be African-American.

Make my hair,
long, soft, thin, silky,
and brown.
All mine.
Natural,
with waves.
Slighty glistening
and shining
in the bright sun.

Make my skin
caramel-brown.
Wiht a tinge of honey.
Black girl.
White chick.
Spanish mami.
Maybe my ingredients:
*1/2 cup black.
*1/4 cup white.
*1/4 cup spanish.
Maybe if things
worked out right.

I wanna be a Poet.
That's the picture
you should paint.
My body should flow
and attract,
just like my words.

My eyes.
The beauty of my body.
The secretive, true me...
Make them light brown.
Like a mix,
between brown
adn hazel.
They should be
like rainmdrops.
They should show
emotion.
But most of all,
deep Passion.

Make my lips
regular sized.
Soft, smooth,
and luxious.
Curved and full.

Mkae my fingers,
long and
slender.
Nails, sharp
and round.

Give my arms
some girly muscle.
Still,
a little bit of meat.

On my legs,
let my calves
have some girly muscle, too.
Make them,
long and easy.

And then,
when you're finished,
painting this picture...
Call it Clarissa.

****Let me know what you think****
