I’m Short


Just because I’m short

Doesn’t mean I can’t reach top lockers

Doesn’t mean I can’t do things tall people do

 

Just because I’m short

I can get through crowds better

I’m not a midget

I’m not a leprechaun

I don’t enjoy being picked on

 

Just because I’m short

It doesn’t mean my family is too

I’m not incapable of doing things tall people do

I’m not lame or boring

 

Just because I’m short

Why should it matter anyway?

What is size?

What is life without size?

 

Just because I’m Short
