What Do I See

What do I See? As I look at myself what do I see? I see someone who is black, darker than most people. Someone who has a heart but don’t want to share it. A person who is lost and in her own little world do I think of myself as beautiful? NO!! I look at myself as UGLY and MEANINGLESS because when I was growing up, that’s what people used to call me Ugly, Blackie, Big ears… Even though I’ve locked myself in my room and cried I feel like nobody can help me I am lost, I need love but I can’t find love. I ain’t got any love from my parents when I was a kid and still not getting it now. As I look at myself what do I see? I see someone who’s going to become a doctor, lover, mother someone who’s loves to help others as I look at myself what do I see? I see someone who is dark and pleasantly made and growing in the bless of GOD By: Tulisa Reeves
