This Way, Naturally
July 9th, 2008 | By Sonnie
In middle school
I was such a fool
Thinking I needed the approval of those around me
I stayed inside
Wanted to hide
Til this one man found me
He said look at your legs
The shape of your hips
Your slender waist
The curl of your lips
Your a dime
In that moment in time
I realized the beauty I held
In high school they wanted breast
I couldn’t fill a bra
So I stuck to passing my test
Never went on dates
Found so much in myself to hate
Til this guy said look at your legs
The shape of your hips
Your slender waist
The curl of your lips
I realized nothing had changed
The way other people saw me stayed the same
The difference? The way I saw myself
