Do you know how many birthday wishes i wasted on mermaid tails and doll skin? I wanted to be as white as ariel in the arms of a boy who loved a girl without a voice My cousin calls them snowflakes but she is just as prissy as the flowers who didn't love her as much as she loved their skin... I wanted to waste away my melanin I wanted to blend I've lost count the tears I used to water my dreams of dusty rose cheeks and freckels I am- Im not sure of what i am. But i think she is meant to be as she is Let's let her grow a while longer
