Blonde

By: Rachel Kelley

Blondes are
Stupid
Popular
Ditsy
Un-athletic
Girly girls
Blonde is a label
Look at my personality
Look past my hair
Blonde is not me
I am
Smart
Athletic
Messy
Helpful
Nice
Labels are unfair
They look past the real you
Who cares about my hair?
What can I do?
No matter how many trophies I win
No matter how many A’s I get
It never is enough
I try harder and harder
But it still is not enough
Some days I feel like I have to prove my worth
Like a knight in battle
Walls of judgment crash around me
Like waves that never end
But someday people will see me for me
The world will look past my hair
Labels will vanish into thin air
What would a world without labels be like?
How can we get there?
