Red and White Are Only Colours

The coffee creamer of society I am what others believe It is tough not knowing your nationality For it is based on the individual and what they perceive Natives see the refined, marble white Whites see the crimson, blood red Growing up I was never sure of what I was And it will most likely stay that way until I am dead The mystery kept it interesting and made me different, so unique Personality is not based on colors or preferences, contrary to what many may think My style and interests are my very own Never mainstream Never a follower I do what I want No one’s opinion truly matters Never ashamed Always true My circle is color-blind Why is it that every other can’t be too? What is race, what is sexuality, what is religion? What is liberal, what is conservative? What is different? I am just a 16-year-old boy with my own sociological outlook Spending hours everyday in school with various backgrounds Jock, Emo, Pothead, Band-Geek, Yet what truly matters cannot be taught from even the top college professor Tolerance, love and the golden rule Christian, Atheist, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, Being kind to others and accepting who you truly are Your name and integrity is what you can never lose Gay, Straight, Bi-sexual, Transgender, So that is why I always am myself, always unique, always true Not white, not red, just doing what I want to do I love others, and myself just as everyone else should too.
