    Poem Commentary

    these are some of the things i have been called throughout my life.

    what some see when they look at me

    Look at me

    What do you see?

    Do you see a terrorist or towel head?

    Do you see a beaner, a wet back, a spic?

    Do you see a nigger, a coon, a spook?

    Do you see a cracker or a honky?

    do you see an abomination?

    lots of people

    When they look at me

    This is all they see

    So this is what the call me

    To them I am nameless

    I am only a derogatory comment

    What do you see?

    I see beauty, sadness, confusion and a young soul with the depth and insight to grow through hurtful emotions into a strong woman with the words to make a difference to the world.

    whether you like it or not. people will judge you off first glance. judgement changes once they get close to get a sense of your personality. personality can change a pretty girl to an ugly bag lady. it can make a plain girl extraordinary and extravagant. So don't worry what people think upfront.. because first impressions go away..its how you treat people that makes a big footprint in someones memory. i wouldn't worry too much bout what people think, im just happy to be myself. because the best me is all i can be. cheesy as that sounds. haha. take care.

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
