Okay, about the color black.
I like black.
That does not make me a bad person.
I don't kill babies,
Or sacrifice cute little puppies
To the devil
In a ritual by the light of the full moon.
I don't commit serial murder
Or randomly go out to kill people in their sleep.
I've never vandalized
Or stolen
Or done drugs.
So why do you all stare at me
Like I have some sort of disease?
Why do you lump me, judge me,
Box me into a neat little stereotype?
Please, stop glaring at me
As if I'm smallpox reincarnated.
I just want to wear
What I feel like wearing.
Is that so much to ask?
