Just My Poetry

Im Only Human

Girl you have to be mixed, Look at your skin
Your a yellow girl not a brown girl,
There is no way on God's Green Earth you are black
Honey please,
Look at you hair
Is it all yours, is it weave?
Where'd you buy it?
I don't believe it
Are you sure it's yours?
Your lips are too small,
Hair is too long,
You're too tall

STOP JUST STOP
I'm not cliche
I'm not crazy
I know what's on my body I know where I come from
Did you get your hair cut by a child in kindergarten
Did you get in fights for being quiet in sixth grade
Where the only people you had where your parents
and you stopped trusting God
Did you hide your hair because you were scared
Did you cry yourself to sleep at night for three years?

I didn't think so
Leave me alone
No one judges you for the way you look
I'm human nothing else
I don't classify myself as any specific race
I'm just a thirteen year old girl
Who wants nothing more
But to be accepted
God made me who he wants me to be
Leave me alone, I'm only human
