That is the question I get asked

I look the up and down laugh

They stare at me a await my answer

I breathe a heavy sigh

“I am… I am ….. I don’t know what I am",

They start to make a reply But I cut them off ,

“I do not know what I am

But I do know who I am”

I begin to describe myself,

“I am not a color

I am not different

I am not a thing

Just like you I wake up

Just like you I Live

Just like you I have feelings

Do not separate me from the rest

For something I could not control

I am a Human

Now please try and treat me like one

Not an object …

That is who I am.”
