Dear America
Dear America
I'm afrrican-american
I feel that I do not belong
This is not my country.
My country isn't supposed to be this hard
This country is for white Americans-- not me.
This country is cruel.
My hair is so-called nappy
My skin color is not accepted here
The girls on TV say get out of here black girl.
Your skin is too dark for us.
Dear American
Will I ever belong here?
I don't think so
I'm too African to be American.
