Black and White
America sees Black and White
No Grey,
No between
You're either good or bad
Innocent or guilty
Gay or straight
Cool or a freak
But what happens to the Grey
What happens to people like me,
Who are judged so cruelly?
Do we get exiled?
We get subjected to abuse
Be it mental, physical, or emotional
We are forced to follow rules others do not
Placed in a shell we fear to break out of
What kind of society do we live in,
When you are outcast because of what you wear
Where you're attracted to the same sex and are afraid to express it
America should be ashamed
Believe it or not, there are a lot of Greys resididng in the cracks and crevices of a Blak and White society
