In the end...
Who I am is Who I want to be
What I am is what the world can only see
For I wish they could see the whole me
they refuse to see what is within
All they see is what they get
Before they can judge and label me
they see the light skin, blonde hair, and hazel eyes
they don't think to dig deep within
they can only see what is on the skin
But is that not what is wrong with society?
What is constantly causing all these fatalities?
These differences are what makes us who we are
But they are also what labels us and puts us into groups
they are what subsidizes us into oppression to treat one another with cruelty
And follow the digression of humanity
But in the end...
Who we are is what we are
For we make both
The choice to embrace your past and your future in one is truly only yours
