What Am I?

Last I checked I was the same as you. HUMAN.

Do the skirts that I wear because of my religion define me as a person?

Keep away from her.  She is weird.

Well what is normal?

I am just a black girl in a minority school that feels..ALIENATED.

I am a PENTECOSTAL CHRISTIAN. Did I choose to be born this way? Is it my fault. I stifle my breath to keep from being noticed further.

My natural hair raises the questions: Where is her weave? Why does she do her hair that way?

GOD!!! I know you are there but where is my comfort in this world? WHERE IS MY PEACE???

I AM UGLY??? I AM TOO DARK?

Daddy is Nigerian and Mommy is Jamaican. I AM UGLY??

My lips are TOO BIG? My skin is TOO DARK? My THIGHS and BUTT are TOO BIG?

Where is the love of my life? You know the one that DOESN'T know that I EXIST?!

GOD!! WHERE IS MY PEACE?!

Ew. LOOK at HER! She is flat chested. Her hair is nappy! Her skin is DARK.

ENOUGH!!!!! I HAVE HAD IT! I AM BEAUTIFUL WITH MY DARK SKIN, NAPPY HAIR, LONG SKIRTS, BIG LIPS AND THIGHS!!! UNDERNEATH MY RELIGION, I AM A PERSONALITY!! I AM FUNNY, LOVING, AND I AM A SINGER! I AM NORMAL IN MY OWN WEIRD WAY! AND YOU? YOU'RE A BULLY. AN ..ITCH ON MY EXISTENCE. I AM SMART AND STRONG. YOU'LL FEEL MY PRESENCE MOST WHEN I MAKE IT....AND YOU DON'T! LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME. FOR YOUR SAKE I PRAY THAT YOU CHOOSE TO LOVE ME.
