Why Do I , Who I Am
Why do I Have to be who I am not
Why do I have to see life as if I am someone else
Why can't people let me be me, allow myself to feel free
Being judged by Students and Teachers around me, is it my skin or my nine letter name that drives others insane
Why do I have to work so hard to be treated like I am somebody
These are the words my ancestors used to say
Now it's time I say, I am who i want to be
Im not forced to be someone else I feel
I don't have to be judged by noone but me
The color of my skin and the length of my name
Is who i am and I don't want to be someone else.
