Albinism

I have pale blue eyes and light brown hair . I have albinism.

 

Living life with little fear

Although death from skin cancer is quite near

I love to watch people talk

Even though you’re not always clear

 

Light brown hair

Pale blue eyes

Makes all the boys drop like flies

As I walk down the halls, insecurity clear

People’s harsh comments hit me like spears

 

Honestly, why do I listen?

I wonder aloud

As their cruel words

Drench me like a cloud

Why do I wear glasses?

Why can’t I read small type?

I wait as Middle school slowly passes

 

I just smile

And try to ignore

As I receive what I’ve been waiting for

The smiles of others

Whom I love

For I know that God has sent me this gift

From above

 

I try to teach

I try to reach

 

Though some stay dumb

I don’t care

For there will always be people waiting

There

To hug

And laugh

And tell me they’re here

 

People I love are always near

 

As I live my life without a fear
