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?
