A Person

I am a female , My hair is Dark , My Skin is brown , I try very hard to keep from looking down
I am a person small and brown
I am a person with things inside me
Emotions flow all around me
I can be happy , I can be sad , I do get confused & hate being used
but mostly I'm in a good mood
I like to give every person a chance , and always up for a little romance
I would tell you anything if you just ask , I'm good and true I won't lie to you
So i plead please stop judging me , there is so much to me that you can not see
I am a mother , I am proud , I was engaged but not anymore and since then there has been a
cloud
Ive made many choices , made many mistakes
That's why you judge me , but this i can take
I will move on and I will be strong !
Because I am a person small and brown and I will never let you bring me down
Never will i look down .

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
