I'M
I’m not black
I’m brown
I’m not the color of my shoes or my hair.
I’m a milky chocolate with a personality that
Should overpower my outward appearance.
Look at my character, not my label.
I was born in the United States of America
Not Africa.
I’m not African American
My ancestors were African and or something else.
I’m a young man.
Our society is too politically correct.
It’s like they want things structured,
But I’m not a item for you or anything
Can I just be a human with ambition?
