My Color Is Different,

The author has placed a warning on this post for violence.

Got lost again today, ran with out delay,

Decided I need to go away,

Find a road, follow the line,

Left a note, not wanting to whine.

You know the path, it is not new,

Leads down to the river, very blue,

Found others, an angry bunch,

I prayed this was just a hunch.

Words of dislike, words of hate,

Should be home, it is getting late,

Threw me in the river, I was to drown,

A croc came, pulled me under, down, down,

I was not one of them, a different color,

A disgrace I was, see him smother,

Watch, laugh, shout names, go under,

Swam away, the rain came, then thunder.

Lost in a lost world of disgrace,

Lost where I live, a lonely place,

Rise up, tell who you are, a premonition,

No longer a loser, one with certain determinations.
