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.
