So What?


I am broke because I have no money.

      So what? Money does not hold happiness.

I am stupid because I did poorly in chemistry.

      So what? School does not measure my wits.

I am ugly because I do not wear makeup every day.

      So what? Beauty does not have to be only on the outside.

I am annoying because I talk too much.

      So what? Relationships do not form from solitude.

I am more than negative word. 

     I have courage.

     I have strength.

     I have the ability to love.

     I have the ability to understand.

I am not who you think I should be.

       So What? I am me.
