My Turn Part 1

I can be dangerous
or I can be famous
The choice is made
By the people 
The color of my skin
Can say im out or in
But I can take it like that
The choice is mine
and let me tell you something
I chose to be me
Famous or not famous
There is still no respect
but you know what
I dont care
what you see 
is what you get
I can take it to the next level
or I can be dangerous
So see what you want to see
and go some where
Im not
no robber
seller
nor lier
so why should I try to please you
My life is mines
and im here to make myself happy
and ill never bend over backward
as long as I am walking
you shouldnt do the things you do
because the color of my skin

this poem was great and it shows what the color of your skin can mean and what people choose to do.
