A Color Called Me

Into this world, as all men do.
Flesh and blood; just as you.
But, sometime came a darkened scheme;
it seeks to drain my every dream.

Misconceived by lies to you.
A shameful tale; misconstrued.
Distortions tell my evil kind.
Treasured hate in which to hide.

Is this what you see, that myth that you bring?
Ignorance plays the hate that you sing!
Ive sought, Ive thought, Ive tried, Ive cried,
Ive pushed, Ive shoved, and still you wont love!

What may it take? What must you know?
These elements of light have no place to go!
Youve thought and youve dealt me a horrible fame!
What rights do you have to bring shame to my name?

I want you to know, I want you to hear.
I love who I amI hope I am clear!
No matter what libel or slander you say.
No matter your deeds to claim your own way.

Ill never give up! Ill never refrain!
Ill seek out young minds; he lp them re-train!

I will not become what you say that you see.
I will not accept what you want me to be.
I am what I am, this beauty I see!
Im proud to declare this color called me.
