Poem #5

The Things You Hear

You’re too brown to act white

You act too white to be brown

You’re too light


You’re too dark


You’re wearing too much makeup


You look tired


Be mature


Stop acting grown, you’re still a child


Stop trying so hard


You're not putting in enough effort


You’re amazing


You’re beautiful


You’re funny


You’re talented


Stop changing yourself to fit others standards


You are your own standard. 


You’re Perfect.
