Too Black

I am Defiant if I SEPARATE
I am fake if I ASSIMILATE
They consider my uniqueness STRANGE
They call my language SLANG
They see my confidence as CONCEIT
They see my mistakes as DEFEAT
My questions mean I am UNAWARE
My advancement is somehow UNFAIR
To my voice concern is DISCONTENTMENT
If I stand up for myself, I am too DEFENSIVE
If I don't trust them, I am too APPREHENSIVE
