What Is Mine

Control the controllable
But is it controllable if
The results aren’t what you expected
Once a little chick unable to experience
to a full grown bird flying past all obstacles
What seems unintended
Is calculated and fully taken into account
The experiences of each differ
Which is why some learn
Lessons at different stages of life
You are the product of excellence
But still they doubt
You are beautiful the way you are
But still my features are to be altered
If black is beautiful, why does my hair need straightening
Why are MY nature features only appreciated
When they are surgically placed on
A face on which they don’t belong
Another person’s beauty doesn’t take away
From mine for beauty is not mutually exclusive
But still I am compared to those
Whose feature vastly differ from mine
There will come a time when
My features are looked at as beautiful
Even in a room full of other distinct features
Until then i’ll wear my protective styles
For I am in a game so I must abide by the rules.
