Mama Always Told Me

Wed, 06/25/2014 - 18:10 -- ada605

My mama always told me I'm beautiful
But as I got older
My hips began to get wide 
My eyes began to cry and, 
My heart began to hurt...
My mama always told me to keep my head held high but,
Boys began to holler 
Girls began to sneer and, 
My heart began to hurt,
My mind began to think...
What is my self worth?
