Who would have thought the pigment of our skin could cause such controversy? For looking the way I do I must conform to the expectations of society. If I could shed my skin like a snake maybe you'd finally understand that I am just like you. I cannot act a color the same way you cannot see a sound, and I will not apologize for who I was born to be.
