Genuine

I Like chocolate ice cream
All the people at school like vanilla ice cream
They won't even take a taste of chocolate
They think it's bad for them or something
I don't mind vanilla
But I've been brought up with chocolate
Everyone at school says I eat with forks and knives
I eat with a spoon
Mama says it doesn't matter what other people think
Perhaps it doesn't
But what they say about chocolate icecream really hurts me
This may sound funny, but it actually makes me cry
It makes me feel guilty knowing they are inquiring stories
That aren't true
I would just like, for one day, to eat my chocolate icecream alone
They can all eat their vanilla icecream
i won't throw my food at them
As long as they don't throw their words at my icecream...
My chocolate icecream.

    racism...WE CAN LIVE WITHOUT IT! Everyone doesn't realize how big of an impact a racial remark has on a person.
