A Wonderful Realization

This poem was nominated for "Best Poem 2005," written by an African kid.

When I was born
I'm black
When I grow up
I'm black
When I go in the sun
I'm black
When I'm scared
I'm black
When I'm sick
I'm black
And when I die
I'm still black

You white fella
When you were born
Your pink
When you grow up
Your white
When you go in the sun
Your red
When your cold
Your blue
When your scared
Your yellow
When your sick
Your green
And when you die
Your gray

And you're calling me COLORED?!

Show the real you

Show everyone who you really are, not just someone who people want you to be! So what if people teases you?BIG DEAL! The thing is you're being REAL. I've experienced these things a lot of times (I mean the teases), but I don't let it get to me, and so should you. Being you, means being true to yourself and to everyone else. Just let things be, and everything should be fine. If there's such a thing as "DYING OF EMBARRASSMENT," trust me, I would've been dead long ago. So go live your life how you want it, don't let people live your life for you. Remember other people doesn't have the permission to make you inferior, only you can make that decision....
