So tell me


Im not up to your standards so tell me how to be more black My looks are substandard so show me how be more beautiful I didnt get a perfect score on ACT like my best friend so tell me again how I'm stupid I am I don't agree with things that you do so tell me why your views are better than mine When you do ask about my stance on topic no matter what I say or do, I haven't experienced life so what I have to say really doesn't matter No one is perfect, I'm not a model citizen nor am i a cookie cutter image of what i'm supposed to be in your mind. So tell me this I'm find I'm find the way I am.
