What I am is not above you or below you,
I am your equal,
I respect you, regard you and will protect you,
But I can neglect you, reject you and provoke you,
I am black and I am blue,
Correct I am hurting just like you.
My iris sees your iris,
But yet I am misunderstood,
Because I do not get down and hang with your hood,
I cannot relate,
I choose not to reciprocate,
Because I am me.
No I am not above you or beneath you,
I am your equal.
If you respect me, I vow to regard and protect you,
But if you neglect me, I will reject and provoke you.
I am of you, not because of you.

- Comment from author about the poem: You don’t always need to be like others or fit in with a crowd to be equal. You are on their level because you stand tall.
