I am

by Victoria   Dec 7, 2004


I am not white I am swirls of green blue purple orange yellow and colors no one knows, I am not American I am part of a much larger culture... The human race, I am not asking you to follow my lead or do what i do. I am asking you to walk with me and be my friend. I am not asking you to love me I am asking you to respect me, even though we are different I am not rich with money,cars and jewelery I am rich with love hope and faith i am not part of the crowd, yet I am not alone I am just me, I am not looking at you because you're different I am looking at you because I am curious and I want to learn. I am not going to be mad at the people trying to bring us down. I am going to thank them for making me stronger and wiser, I am not going to fight you for our differences. I am going to embrace you for our differences I am not going to say I'm sorry because someone thinks you're different I am going to stand by your side and let us be different together because I AM ME!
