THAT I AM

I am white

I am my grades

I am my last name

I am where I’m from

To the world...

that is what they choose to see

That is the reality we live in

However...

That is not the reality I AM

I am NOT a color

I am NOT a GPA

I am NOT a last name

I am NOT a place

I AM my thoughts

I AM my words

I AM my actions

I AM where I am going

THAT is who I AM

THAT is all I ever hope TO BE
