Ain't asier being me

Yes I was lucky,
that doesn't mean
it was easy being me.

Yes, my eyes are rare,
my skin is fair
long wavy hair,
and I am curvy
born in a society
that praised that.
But that doesn't mean
it is easier being me.

Yes, I haven't had
a serious beating
or real threat.
Yes, great parents,
never wanted
while growing up.
But that doesn't mean
it was easier being me.

Yes I've studied,
and never pay for it,
even chose freely.
Good in math matters,
known for my wits
and emotional grasp.
But that doesn't mean
it was easier being me.

Yes, I've married,
I have kids and a job.
Yes, I do carry
pictures on my phone.
I even got to chose
an expensive one.
But that doesn't mean
it was easier being me.

No, I don't know
how hard it was for you.
That is precisely
my expressed idea.
I do know thought
that neither you could,
from your complains
and your bitter vents.
 
I ain't complaining.
Truly, I am fortunate
for all that I am and
know to be thankful.
So stop judging, see,
you don't know me!
And this doesn't mean
it was easier being me.

(Music to be added to the lyrics.)
