THATS NOT EVEN ME


Comment me like a facebook post 

Label me like a hashtag 

Post me up like an innstagram Pic

You do not see the 

Pain 

Struggle 

Or ME

Its funny 

Its sad 

It hurts 

Its Fiction 

Im not like that 

I never even do that 

I dont just play that sport 

Im not a terrorist 

Im not illegal 

Im not hood

Im not all country 

I am Pride 

I am Success 

I am the branches from the tree that grow nice big and tall 

I am my own label 

I am my own kind 

I am drowned buy your racial and sterotype sayings 

It cuts deeper than a hog splitting knife 

It means more to be that than you know 

Its a struglle and fight 

I am ME 

and only ME 

ME 

I 

Myself 

Young, Brave, culture filled, made of roots that branch in me, and pride

This is me not the comment or label 

but

ME
