what do you see?


What do you see, when you look at me?

Someone who's ugly, or unattractive?

Another black girl who's probably from the hood or ghetto?

What do you see me when you look at me?

Someone who doesn't have any dreams or goals in life?

What do you see,when you look at me?

A person who lives in a apartment building supported by the government, who has so many siblings and different fathers?

You see, when I look t me i see a young beautiful African American who is going to be the first out of her family to graduate high school, attend college, and is not pregnent at the age of 16.
