My Flag

My flag says I am free. Free from prejudice based on my color. Free from others believing I cannot learn. Free from hurt that comes from unruly tounges. Free from names that forever caused scars. Free to educate my being where ever I choose. Free to feel equal to those people who surround me. Free to have relationships with whoever becuase my color does not define what I can and cannot do. Free to feel the pure joy that all men are truly created equal. My flag as she waves her multi-colored fabric, reminds my nation where we were, where we are now, and where we are yet to go. My flag reminds me that I am free. My flag whispers in the wind that I am a lucky one, to feel and be free of the crude nation that she once hung over. My flag is more than just stars and strips, she is a beacon. A beacon of where we were, where we are, and where we are yet to go.
