American Dream

If I choose to live thee American dream can I be anything I want to be with out judgement that might strike towards me. Do I have to walk with my head down low or be ashamed that my skin might not be as powerful then those who walk beside me. Do I have to hide who I am just to fit in society's cruel world or do I have to degrade my own people or belive's just to feel that I'm am not alone in this world. Do I have to hide my pain through invisible walls to show them that I am strong or do I have to wait until society sits back and watches me fall. The question is I'm I willing to risk this all just to live thee American Dream.
