WHITE GIRL!
its my new name
WHITE GIRL!
is my new name
they dont call me by my real name
only by white girl
they dont think i can do anything
just twirl
they say i cant dance
just because im white
i dont have a chance
even if i am right
no justice for me
they say im not good enough
no justice for me
because im not tough.
i look at them
and laugh
because i know in me
im not white trash.
im prouder of my heritage
more than them i gaurantee
im proud of my heritage
because im me.
Author notes
this is my new name in school, and i really dont care.

Well... I really admire your enthusiasm and your pride as a white girl. Although I really do think this could have been written much better. I think you should hold onto this and maybe revise it when you get a little older. And not to make you feel dumb or anything but... "white" is a race, not a heritage.
