Obliterate the illiterates
A certain look, skin color, or race doesn't define us
We are more than that, this is unjust
I've been told I would never make it in life because I'm a minority
Those words pierced straight through my heart like a poisonous knife
There are many people who discriminate and that is not right
This world that we live in is black and white
People bring others down to crush their dreams
Thinking that'll raise their self-esteem
We need to find a cure for this disease
Before all hearts are full of grief
We must change for the better and thrive
Or end up a zombie, dead but alive
Something wrong with this poem?

I'm an outgoing person, and very funny. I guarantee that I can make you laugh, I always like to have a positive outlook on life. I like helping other, giving them a hand, because I believe that life is not about what you get but about what sacrifices you can do for others. I am very respectful towards others, it doesn't matter if they're a different ethnicity, believe in something that I don't, are superior, are younger, what ever the situation is I will respect you. I don't like to think that I'm better than others and most of all I do not like to show off. I stay humble and work hard to be successful. I'm one of those people who will by your side good or bad, someone you can trust, and someone that you'll remember by how I made you feel.
