Another day as Me - About the Author
It is never fun being me,
but just know, you can be who you want to be.
I am a black girl with problems,
but don't forget that I am tall
Standing at five foot six
people laugh at it all.
No matter how much foundation, concealer, and gloss;
tell me why it must feel
like I still lost.
Lost beauty standards, friends, and even reputation
which has to be impossible
because I was born Haitian.
I don't earn nothing, I can't even hold my name,
Without being in the middle — the one to blame
No matter the month, week, or day,
everything about me
will remain "okay".
I pour my feelings out in writing, it's what I do;
you might have a better coping way,
don't you?
