I Am So Sorry

Location

 

I am so sorry

That my eyes are dark brown with an added twinkle

I am so sorry

That my breasts, thighs, and hips are bigger than yours and have an added jiggle

I am so sorry

That my skin is not black like you wish but instead a beautiful dark brown with an added shine

I am so sorry

That you think you can control me and ignorant to the fact I have my own thoughts in my own mind

I am so sorry

That my weight is greater than yours

I am also sorry

That I work my weight better than you do yours

I am so sorry

That my confidence is sky high

I am so sorry

That you thought you could break me with your words, looks and stares but all I did was sigh

I am so very sorry

I have major sex appeal

And I am also sorry

That your man likes the way I switch in my 3 inch heels

I am sorry

I am so sorry

That you don’t understand that people are different sizes for a reason

I am so sorry

But light skinned –skinny girls went out of style last season

I am so sorry

That you think you have real friends, you know, the chicks who laugh at all your oh so funny jokes

I’m sorry to tell you this

But last week they called you a hoe

I am so sorry

That you think the tears that roll down my face are for you

But instead they are true

True feelings , true emotions, true tears of joy and tears of hope

I am so sorry

That you think the things you say make me hurt, because they don’t

I am sorry

That you think that I am suppose to treat you like the queen bee, kneel down and kiss your feet

Cuz I won’t

I am so sorry

That deep inside you envy me

And I am so sorry

That when I magically have the ability to jump and land a spilt- perfectly

Your eyes are green with envy

And I am sorry

That all the thoughts you had about me are being burned

As I take my size ten feet, as you yell in my face, stand up and turn away

I am sorry

That your words are meaningless

As you stand there, with your small waist, small feet, light skin, long hair and mouth wide open

Speechless

I am sorry
