I don’t want to be seen for my looks, race, or even my gender.
I want to be seen for my individuality, and what I have on the inside.
I am not like most teenagers who are out there only caring about themselves and their image.
I am an individual who is just starting to try to find my place in this world.
I know I have a certain standing that God has set aside for me to fulfill.
For me to be able to achieve this honorary gift, I have to be who I am, not who you want me to be.
I accept people for who they truly are, not who they are trying to impress, just like a lizard camouflaging himself on a rock, trying to be like the rock.
Those whom I love and respect are people who don’t fall into the power of the world.
