I WAS JUST ME TILL YOU CAME
Life drifted by slow and sweet
With my small dreams and simple goals
Then you came and led my feet
To a world where we played roles
You told me of black and of white
You showed me a strange light
I learnt my nose was too flat
And I was wrong to have a delicacy of rat
My tongue was too crude for you
My very being you taught me to rue
I then realized there was a new order
Where you were forever the awesome wonder
I was always inferior
So I began to judge based on the exterior
You told me I was barbaric
But perhaps we both are moronic
For you closed your mind from conceiving that we are different yet same
And I blindly accepted the false tag you called my name
You dazzled me when you took me by the hand
And distracted me only to take over my land
I may label you a thief and a cheat
But it was I who followed you around like a dog,
Lapped up the crumbs you deemed fit,
Lay to be stepped on like a rug
Do I blame you?
Do I blame myself too?
I just know I was fine being me
Till you came and taught me what to be
