As-I-Am

     Officer I'm a little black boy I have caused no trouble and done no harm why you treat me as if I have just take me and treat me As-I-Am.Officer I understand your job and I want to cause you no harm but all I ask of you is for you to take me As-I-Am. I wear fitted hats and make loud noise in public because I'm a teen trying to find my self not cause no harm so please take me As-I-Am. I understand that your job is hard and your just as scared as me but I have respect for you and the way you look I can't understand why you have no respect for me. Just because my skin is brown and I stand at 6 foot 3 that doesn't mean that  I want to cause you any harm so why do I feel like you want to harm me. I know crime is up and you are just as scared of me as I am of you. When you see me no judgment should be made all little black boys are not the same just take me As-I-Am .
