Author S. K. Nicholas

I always wanted to be

somebody

but I was destined to be

a nobody

Lost within the city streets

the beats within my rhymes

But she always brought me in

my sister from Chicago

She was always cool

and beautiful

Always knew just what to say

Though I tried to stay

outside the fringes of society

Where the strangest of us hide

She didn’t care if I was

awkward or shy

She took my picture and said

I looked lovely in black and white

I told her she didn’t understand

for she’d never felt ugly

or ridiculed

and she said, sister

how little you know

sometimes.
