Human Nature


When I was just a little girl My mom would tell me how She loved my hair of kink and curl The way she liked it down. In a school full of blonde beauties My hair set me apart The boys always called them cuties But not me, I was a foodie at heart. A fault, a blemish, an imperfection A flaw is but evil in the brain A wish to dream of no rejection Homo sapiens is but a name. It is human nature to have flaw The genes a child inherits from a parent Makes their traits unique and raw The dominant traits are declarant. I am flawless in my eyes That is all that matters No need to put on a disguise With this attitude I will climb ladders. Now it is clear Differences give us a reason to rejoice I am unique in the way I appear I am whoever I wish to be and I have a voice.
