My Hair and My Eyes

My hair is brown

It doesn't have highlights

Or a red tint

It doesn't shine

In the sun

It's just brown

It's not long

Or layered

There's no light brown

Hidden in the dark brown

Or streaks of black

It's not curly

Or wavy

It hangs to my shoulders

In straight lines of brown

My eyes are brown

There's no gold specs

They don't turn green

In certain lights

They're not overly big

And they're not lined

By luscious lashes

They're just brown

Pools of dark brown

They're not honey colored

Or the color of chocolate

They're just dark brown

They match my hair

My dark brown hair

The falls in lines

To my shoulders

And my eyes

That are pools of dark brown

  • A Mix

    My face is a mix of my parents'

    I have my dad's eyes

    And hair

    I have my moms features

    And skin tone

    But it all pulled together

    To make my face

    My face with brown hair and eyes

    Pink lips

  • A Story About A Girl

    Let me tell you story

    A story about a girl

    Who had the same longing for adventure

    As little Red Riding Hood

    And the same urge for freedom

    As Rapunzel

    Let me tell you a story

    About a girl

  • Gotten Good At Pretending

    I've gotten pretty good

    At pretending

    Some nights

    I fall asleep

    And wake up with 

    Red puffy eyes

    But I go to school

    With a smile on my face

    And hope no one notices

    That a bit of light
