Black or White

It was never just one side or another,

It was never just black or white.

It was not even a choice I made,

Don't let the status quo blur your sight.


Look clearly because there's a ray of red,

a flag of orange and a flag of yellow.

There's even a pinch of green, blue hiding in the shadow,

and a purple peeking through the window.


There is so much more to me than a label,

why does your soul drown itself in denial?

Have I wronged you, let you down,

Do you think that I'm a criminal?


Why do you reject the truth--

when it's laid right before your very eyes?

Why must you make me feel damned,

driving to make me live in disguise?


Why would you force me out of my comfort shell,

only to turn your back from the human I am?

Why does anyone have to be blamed

for what you think "I've become"?


Why?
