Remarkable me

February 28, 2015

Jealous girls say it's because of my pretty eyes

Boys I've turned down says it's because of my thick thighs.

These all are lies and I must advise

that it's not a slim waist, my lip gloss taste,

or the assumption my trust is misplaced

that makes people do a double take.

We were all born unique,

and even with experience and age,

our identity doesn't change

and although it may seem strange

it's such a simple technique.

You see, your opinion does not change my mind,

you're advice will not be my guide.

I must not quiver in fear,

I refuse to shed a tear.

Allow me to be distinctive, I am as bold as I appear.

Your remarks do not shake me,

I am as remarkable as the sea.

I make sounds that soothe,

but can conjure waves that move,

Anyone who knows me will agree.

I'm not as famous as Brad Pitt

nor am I the girl everyone's slept with.

But I impact lives daily,

and navigate through life gayly,

They only talk about people like me myths.

My happiness is not up to you,

20/20 lens can not change my view

towards my reflection; how I admire myself

You can not buy self love even with all the wealth.

My worth comes from within,

because I am more than soft brown skin

or someone who you tell jump and responds "say when."

I am not a force to be reckoned

Or someone who settles for second.

I am so precedent you'd think I was on of the deadliest sins.
