Maybe if I ran away, they'd all go crazy. Maybe they'd care. Better yet I know they would, but would they ever give me my freedom? Would they ever give me my privacy? Would they ever respect my thoughts, my actions, my beliefs, my heart?
NO.
I am horrible. Like a domino chain going down the line. One fall, two fall, three fall, all fall.
I keep falling and I DON'T STOP.
I feel like an outsider.
In school, at HOME.
In school I share my excitements for our new President.
I walk in to the class, proudly preach the words; "OBAMA! OBAMA! OUR NEW PREZ!"
And I get looked down upon, and I hear their criticism. I hear the hate, the anger, and I feel their pain.
But I have faith in him. Any they should too.
Despite his stupid middle name.
Despite what you THINK*;
He is here to make better, nothing more, nothing less.
JUST BECAUSE I'M 1 OUT OF THE 5 COLORED PEOPLE IN MY SCHOOL,
DOESN'T MEAN I'M NOT GONNA SHARE WHAT I WANT TO SAY.
AND IF I DO, DON'T JUDGE ME.
BECAUSE I SPEAK OF ONLY HAPPINESS.
AND IF YOU CAN'T BRING ANY PEACEFUL THOUGHTS TO OUR WORLD,
THAN KEEP IT TO YOUR KIND SELF.
"Love all. Trust Few. Do wrong to NO ONE."
NO.
