Just because... portrait poems

9RTd did some portrait poems- here's one from Henry. Thanks Henry!


Just because I’m brown

Doesn’t mean you’ll have my crown

Doesn’t mean I like being put down

Doesn’t make me your clown

Just because I’m brown

Doesn’t mean I was found

Yous tied my hands and beat me down

Just because I’m brown

I’m not just a voice in your head

To me it all matters about what you said

Doesn’t mean you really cared

Cause all along you thought I was always in the air

Just because I’m brown

Am I just an outsider ?

Do I really matter ?

Can you like me for who I can be ?

Colour doesn’t define who I am.
