That who I am

December 19, 2017

I am african

No i don't only eat chicken

“You don't look african”

Is that supposed to make me buoyant?

Oh and yes i have kinky hair

“You would look better if it was straight”

Oh yeah? Well i don't care

Do you know about self-restraint?

Or do i not have the right to complain?

Maybe you are trying to offend me

But don't you see your words don't affect me?

Or maybe you don't mean it that way

Yeah next time how about you watch what you say?

Was i supposed to look like you?

Was i suppose to act like you?

Was i supposed to talk like you?

Oh my bad if i can't fit in your shoes

Cause i'm too busy exploring my own

Thanks for you opinion

But thats who i am so,

How about you let me stay on my throne

And you stay in your zone
