Short

You call me short,
You call me small.
But just you wait,
And soon I'll be tall.
When you call me weak,
I know it's true.
But still sometimes I want to shriek. 
You laugh at me when I make a mistake,
Maybe it's time I laughed at you. 
Yes, maybe I'm short. 
But I'm so close to being your height,
I think I'll give you a fright.
Because if I'm short,
You don't tower over me anymore,
Then you must be short too. 
So much pride you hold. 
Maybe it's time to learn what humility can do.
