    I am not white. I am swirls of green,blue,purple,orange, and colors no one knows. I am not American. I am part of a much larger culture...the human race. I am not asking you to follow my lead or do what I do. I am asking you to walk with me and be my friend. I am not asking you to love me. I am asking you to respect me even though we are different. I am not rich with money, cars, or jewerly. I am rich with love, hope, and faith. I am not part of the crowd yet, I am not alone. I am just me. I am not looking at you because you are different. I am looking at you because I am curious and I want to learn. I am not going to be mad at the people trying to bring us down. I am going to thank them for making me stronger and wiser. I am not going to fight you for our differences. I am going to embrace you for them. I am not going to say I'm sorry because someone thinks your different. I am going to stand by you and let us be different together. I am not white. I am swirls of green, blue, purple, orange, yellow, and colors no one knows.

    naked,
    Chill out. You deserve to be in the spotlight. The writers forum puts a different poem in the spotlight each week to highlight it so others who may have missed it get a chance to see it. This is a great poem. Extremely beautiful. To be read again and again. There is so much negativity in the world in general that it's even more special when you read a poem that is positive without being oversentimental. It's the kind of thing that should go in the spotlight. Well done.

    Peace,
    Aidan

    Sorry your formatting was lost, but it was necessary to shorten its size on the group page.
