The Real Me


Hello beautiful child, flower child.

Whenever you look at the world you make it smile.

The way you walk, the way you talk, it honestly just inspires.

You would never know you're some peoples desires.

Natural is what you wear best.

Everyone knows you like to put borders to the test.

Pretty brown skin, no need to hide, among the greats is where you will soon reside.
