In my attirement? You know neither me nor what I’ve had to push through In a place where there weren’t many like me or you And I would have never thought to deny you In fact I embraced you with pride and admiration Even more so for your environment And all that you’ve had to endure And now As if being in this skin isn’t hard enough Now even you hate me And now it’s a must That I justify myself to both them and us And why I feel that I have earned the right To sit on what I thought was my own bus While now even you degrade me And you wonder why they still laugh at us? Think about why that sounds so crazy Now look me in the eyes And tell me you still hate me Copyright © 2013 by Daryl R. Gaines. All rights reserved
