Just because I’m small
Doesn’t mean I’m weak
Doesn’t mean I can’t jump
Just because I’m small
Doesn’t mean I can’t spell
Doesn’t mean I can’t hoop
Just because I’m short
Doesn’t mean I’m an alien
Doesn’t mean I’m a pencil
Just because I’m short
Doesn’t mean I’m unlikable
Doesn’t mean I’m not going to make it
Just because I’m short
What is height?
Does height matter?

The author's comments:
The reason I wrote this poem was to express my feelings. I knew I could do a lot of things but most people didn’t. So I wrote this poem to show I might be small and short but that don’t mean I can’t do things tall people can do. Myself as a poet I wrote this poem in consideration of most small people who think just cause their small they can’t do anything. If you’re tall that don’t mean you belittle someone just because you’re small
