Ashy


I make peoples' skin white and bright

When you wake up in the morning we always have to fight

You cover it up with lotion or cream

But you'll never know when it pops back up on the scene

It really likes to come when you get out of the shower

You try to make my magic go away for about an hour

I love when you use the cheap lotion

You're really just helping my potion

You'll never know when it's me 

Oh don't forget your left elbow or knee

Every time you eat salt and vinegar chips

Whenever you think you look flashy

Please don't forget you're still ashy

I have graduated high school and I currently attend a University, Elizabeth City State University to be exact. I am majoring in pharmaceutical sciences. Once I receive my Bachelor’s in pharmaceutical sciences I plan to go on to Pharmacy school. I will work hard until I earn my PharmD degree. I will not end there because I will continue to work hard to receive my license so that I will be able to practice as a pharmacist.
