No Title, Yet - 7
Why is it that everyone always picked on me,
When all I wanted to do was be let in?
I was always good at sports and people couldn’t see
Through the stereotype of different colored skin.
I was no different from any other kid in school
When it came to participation is class, or grades.
From the beginning, I was told I was uncool
And, almost as a weekly ritual, I was hazed.
As I got older, people still treated me the same,
But after I left and came back, it all went away.
People remembered who I was, even my name.
I guess they decided me being white was okay.
