Twelve

Twelve, Twelve was the age I started judging my body, the age I thought the only thing that could possibly help me were jackets and makeup, “Just a lil “Cover up” I said
 
It was a war, a war between me and society, You see, you have the decency to approach me, L A B E L I N G me
 
I remember kneeling down on one knee asking god save me?
 
Saying, I want to be very skinny, hazel eyes, long hair, oh, and this might be a little much, but the fat you take from my stomach just add it ALL to that booty... Amen.
 
Hahaha, I laugh at myself now realizing what a child I was, praying to GOD asking him to change me?
 
There are so many things you can use to “cover up”
 
But I’m tired of having to hide what I own, its time to shine, and work it baby
 
just let me show you me
