To the people who make fun of me for acting “too” white.
From the age of five when I started school
Uncalled for bullying happens because I couldn't understand the teacher
Children that didn't even know my name laughed at me everyday
Killing the idea of "just being myself"
Years passed before I even thought of talking to anyone else
Once I learned how to speak the right language everything changed
Unafraid of acting myself again I started making new friends
But no that I'm older, they judge me for acting like myself
I act white, they tell me that every fucking day
Telling me what I do wrong and that I need to act a different way
Careful to not be told this anymore. I act different around some people
Hell I can't even get a fucking cup of coffee without someone saying shit
Everyday I feel I have to act different for everyone
So that God forbid I act like the race I'm not, because I fuck up so much, I can't even "act" like the right one.
