Title: It's a Cycle
I didnt know that you could hate just because you could that is until i moved here.I have to admit that it was a little bit odd that when i walked through te door and all i saw were these white faces i didnt really think anything of it because where i came from everybody played with each other and the only reason that we could find that we didnt like someone else was simply because they were mean. Here was different though. Here no one talked to me. Here no one sat with me at lunch. Here I was always at the back of the line. I remember one day I was pushed of a toy on the playground called the tower it was about 7 feet high and no one cared. I jumped off the swings and landed in a sticker bush and i had to sit there all day withat least a hundred stickers in my legs and yet no one cared. By far the worst thing that i experienced besides the gum in the locker the loneliness and the pain was being called the 'n' word and i know that people may say that like whats up my______ but it is different when you know that the person who is saying it meant it that word cut me like a knife and that wound still bleeds till this very day. I finaly moved away from that town to a bigger town where there were more of my kind I thought that things would be easier there i was wrong. Now at my new school Iwas too 'white' My skin was too light my hair too long. I mean people would come up and ask me if iwas mixed or if my hair was real before they even asked me what my name was.I started geting in trouble when i got here too fights and cursing people out. My life at home was terrible Mom didnt want to listen and my brother hates me because im the baby.Ive been throu boot camp and conseling and I had a teacher call me uncivilized and immature If someone would just ask me why did what i did I would tell them exactly what i wrote for youto read. ignorance leads to hate hate leads to anger and anger leads to violence its a cycle
