No!
You just don’t understand
I am not a traitor
That is not my intention
I don’t regard myself as being a colour hater
My intentions are good
I only desire to stand out
Not to blend in.
No!
You just don’t understand
They don’t want a filthy raven
But a holy dove
Don’t tell me I’m foolish
For hungering after a look of a few
There are thousands of black masses
But only a few of you
Please just listen
I am uncomfortable, I am tormented
My soul is itchin’ beneath my skin.
Release me from this pain I’m in
No!!
You!
Just!
Don’t!
Understand!!
I do not despise the Race
Just the colour of my Face
In essence my decision will not change
And now before has become after
My face has pealed, 2 months since healed
The attention I once craved, I now wish will go away
Behind my back, I only hear snickers
Sadly this time, my fate I cannot change
So after all, I guess you were right
It was I who didn’t understand
