Yes, this is my skin colour.
Yes, I know I'm small.
Yes I'm really slim, too slim?
I'm human, so yes, I fall.
Yes, my eyes are muddy,
And yes, my voice is high,
Yes, I work too hard at school,
I'm a 'nerd' because I try?
Yes, I'm shit at sportiness,
And yes, I'm great at sums,
Yes, I play an instrument,
Clarinet, though, not the drums.
Yes, my parents work hard,
I know that we're not rich,
I've never been on holiday,
I'm not some sort of glitch.
Yes, books are my best friends,
The library is nice,
No, I don't wear Prada shoes,
I can't take that advice.
Okay, so I'm not pretty,
And my hair has lots of knots,
And when I write, my pend all leak,
And my hands are stained with blots.
But at least I know I'm trying,
And my efforts soon will reap,
And when I'm flying oh-so-high,
Well, then we'll see who's 'cheap'.
