Human Beings

There are girls whose arms flow and those whose legs grow Shorter or longer than others. With elbows and knees that nobody sees, That are very much like their mothers, They worry of feet that no one will see Refusing to show them uncovered. Wear outfits with shoes, revealing no clues So their faults may remain undiscovered. There are girls with hair all shiny and bright, Who drink in small sips and are so lady-like; They worry of wrinkles and things out of place Cover with makeup the shame on their face. Not worthy, they think, they must carry the blame Not knowing the truth, that we all are the same. Girls who don’t know what it means to be seen, Through the Truth of our eyes; not as goddess or queen, But as people of worth: a real human being.
