Pray for your family.
Pray for your friends.
So many people have lost faith.
Oh, aren't we so late?

People judge before they know.
But that's so wrong.
I look different than I act.
And please don't judge me by my family.
Even if it's the last thing I do,
I don't want to end up like the rest,
Bloodshot eyes and life a mess.
I'm told this and told that,
But I'm not going to be told who I am.

I'm Rebecca Marie Bowen.
Mixed with almost everything under the sun.
And now 14 years of age,
A softball player,
But most of all,
I'm human.

I breathe air,
And I have a heart that pumps blood through my body.
I feel all emotions thrown at me.

I know I'm seen as a little girl,
But I'm almost grown.
Accept me for who I am.
Your neice, cousin,
Your granddaughter or sister,
Maybe your best friend,
But most of all,
Acknowledge that I'm human,
And stop hiding everything.
