Limited Edition

I'm trapped in this box where I can't get out
I want to see what the worlds about
But how can you live when society judges you for being you
They say be yourself and we will love you for it but instead they criticize misuse and abuse with their views or powers
I've been wrapped up in a box all of my life because I believed what society thought I should be
You are dark skinned, you have big lips, you are too smart, you are too ugly, you are too opinionated,  I'm too much of everything and it gets annoying
I'm me, unapologetically. I never cared what anyone thought of me
It hurts and it still hurts from those words I hear daily.
No one could ever feel my pain
No one could ever understand what I had to gain to get to where I am today
I was never good enough for man to date look at or befriend
I had to grow up family not really caring for you
I had to live thinking how am I going to make it to take care of my mom and I while I'm in school
Noone cares to know how dark I was in when I was hurt and molested by someone I thought was my role model
No one truly knows what it was like to be in a abusive relationship
So I am who I am because I had to be strong
I'm not just an ordinary action figure
I'm a limited edition
Wrapped nicely in a golden box
For I'm a warrior fearfully and wonderfully made.
