I was told that all of my history is a lie , but I know I didn't come from wood on water . Slavery is where they found me. I'm not an African nor am I Black. I consider myself as an American teen who wants better but not everything. I am colored but I'm not white. I have soft skin, but white is not I . I am intelligent, but my brain is colored unknown. I live with two generation in one home ; can you tell if I'm white or black , or is my color still unknown. My race can't be determined by the color of my skin , but my history holds the truth of the person within. I am white but truly black with dirty blood that's mixed. with some of this and some of that.
