Bitches Brew With No Expresso

Why is that when you look at me, 
you see my skin, 
why is it that every time I look at the tv,
its the same bland people.
What ever happened
to a variety?
Hasn't anyone 
seen a basket of fruit?
How do I live in a society 
that isn't even designed or 
made for me.
Leftovers are the most familiar 
because my kind are typical rejects.
What to do? What would you do?
You see coffee, plain and no sugar 
is boring that's why its a sucker for additives.
And what does the plain coffee do, 
pretend it never some sweetener or sugar
because its ashamed. Ashamed of its bitter blackness.

I love this write but disagree strongly. Everyone has the potential for greatness, everyone is essential in this world, good or bad, don't bend or buckle in the face of bigotry but rise above and become who you are, beautiful in the eyes of the sun. There are no limits but the limits we allow others to place on us. All power to you. Kind regards, Ian
