Who I am

based on the short story called Fighting... about racism

The color of my skin

Does it really matter?

After all, haven’t been we taught

To never judge a book by its cover

You taunt me

You mock me

You think I won’t do anything

But does it really matter

Because in the end you don’t know me

But still hate me

So I’ve decided to take a step

Stand up

And change who I am

Because if I’m like you

Maybe the hurting will stop

So I yell back the words

That haunts me even now

But I who I am

Nothing can change that

Okay that second to last verse sounds confused but other that it was great, I could even compare myself in such a way.
