Tell me what exactly did you expect me to understand? was that accepting me for who i am? cracking racist jokes expecting me not to be offended 'cause you consider yourself my friend so in my insecurity
i pretended to be amused by your bigotry came here when i was 2 years old grew up in a small town people whispering behind my back eyes looking me up and down i am tired of
always being viewed as a potential criminal althought i am constantly reminded of the difference between me and you it doesnt hurt as much as it used to 'cause i have learned to respect myself i have learned to trust again and not feel ashamed of where i am from or who i am all my life i have been reminded that i dont belong here.
