"Being short"

I never really liked it much

The fact that I’m not tall

Barefoot I’m only five foot three

That really says it all

 

I’ve scribbled down a poem

It’s all about my size

I find it quite frustrating

I can’t look you in the eyes

 

Good things always come

In packets that are small

I suppose I'm really kind of good

But I wish that I were tall

 

I’ve always been a shorty

Maybe raised by elves

But that’s no consolation

If I cannot reach those shelves

 

The stats all say I’m average height

I don’t share that point of view

Promise not to tease me

And I’ll look up to you

 

I like high heels they raise me up

To where I’d like to be

But when I take them off again

I’m back to five foot three
