Physical Features

Why do you judge others by features
you can only see
Everyone is different
That's the way we are suppose to be

If you think I have wrinkles now
Just wait till I get old
Beauty is all your looking for
I am not a timeless mold

I'll need dentures
With the rest of the female bloodline
But I know what I'm made of
My heart is all mine

I stand tall
A simple 5'8"
One hundred and twenty six pounds
Is perfect weight

I have golden red hair
I thank my mother for
I look pretty good for forty
You insult me no more

I am a cancer survivor
Been on more drugs than you can count
I have a will to live
Hatred never mounts

When you see
Who I am, not what I was
You will be the one crying
Just because...

You judged my physical features.
