                                            Title: Tiny
 
In this huge world, why do I feel so itty bitty
Tiny or small I cannot differentiate which describes me best.
I want to be just as tall like a run-away model
Why can I not be tall and lean just like them at least?
The pavement is so uneven why can I not maintain stability?
I lose gravity against everything I try to hold onto
Why do I lose gravity upon every step I take?
I cannot keep balanced. Why is every so uneven? 
Why do I feel as If my life is spinning in circles?
Why do I feel as if I'm trapped inside of a whirlpool?
Does this vortex spin out of control
Why does this circle feel so small and tiny?
Why does every feel so small and tiny?
Why do I feel as if I were just as little as tumbolina
Should I eat more vegetables and take vitamins too?
Maybe If I ate my means with proper nutritions as a child
I wouldn't be this small and tiny. 
Have I shrunk within time?
Five foot three is the average woman height nowadays. 
Maybe if I wore high heels they'll make me look tall. 
They will give me a perfect fit. 
Maybe if I grew some inches tall I wouldn't feel so itty bitty!
On the bright side of being itty bitty and small
When I play hide and seek I can surely fit in all the small places
A tall person wouldn't be able to fit in. 
Tall people have an advantage of reaching too high places
I'm so small I need a boost to reach high places
I surely cannot reach without a boost
When can assist me to objects I cannot reach.
That's a disadvantage of being so small.
You need assistance to reach too high places. 
Nor small like I feel now maybe if I do some pilates as a workout, 
it will unshrink me possibly!
Should I grow at least an inch 
Just an inch to feel like James the Giant 
The frustrated man whose angry so being so huge. 
Only if James heard me, I'd ask him to share some of his height with me. 
Height indeed is what I most want.
With growth Maybe, I'd be attractive and not so tiny
If I grew at least five foot four, would a gentleman look at me?
