Riquetta Brown Poet Free verse

I Stand With Confidence

People treat me like dirt with
Judged envy, but I stand with
Confidence.
People called my beauty 
Ugly of jealously, but I still
Stand with Confidence.
People whisper of my features,
But I still stand with confidence.
A parent tells the truth of my physicals.
She made I stand up.
