Who Am I?

Location

I was 7 years old when i was told i was ugly

that i had four eyes and big bucked teeth,

that I was fat with a crooked smile

that not even mother could love me

I wore leg braces for a disease that no one understood

when I woud be kicked and called names

i would think "my kindness will kill them "

but it never would

i was 12 years old in the 6th grade when i was told

my voice souded like a girls

and that I was gay... I was told what I was

and that I was weak, a freak a melodramic kid

with silly hopes and wishes

and that perfect, perfect was not me

I didn't play sports like the other boys I would draw and I would create

turning that negativity into positive productivity

not being allowed to play in any of the other kids reindeer games would

not stop me

and it never did...

because one day i realized yes my voice light and shrill as it may be

it is not timid and shy it's loud and proud and like it so am I

I am eccentric and creative wise and beautiful

I am something they could never even allow themselves to see

I am not the ghost child they made me be...

so here I stand now with four eyes,my teeth confined together by this metal bar

soon to be like pearly white diamonds in the sky

I am 233 pounds

and yes i have a lisp, I have crooked legs ,

I walk funny and I make mistakes...

I am not perfect, because perfect is boring!

But I am someone who is soaring beyond others expectations and walls

I am magnifcent,majestic and eccentric
