If Only

by Nina aged 10

If I was skinny and wasn’t fat
If I was beautiful and not a rat
If I was white and wasn’t brown
If I was happy without a frown
If I had perfect teeth and a great smile
Then liking him could be worthwhile
If I played volleyball and didn’t dance
Then maybe I might have had a chance
If I was short and wasn’t tall
I could have been the prettiest of them all

If you’re reading this and relate to it
Just know someone loves you every bit
If you feel that you are not enough
Just remind yourself you’re beautiful and tough
If you find yourself covering your face
Or want to be a different race
Just know you are loved ❤️
