it has made me think about life...

I Am/Shades of Life

I am black, I am white
I am all skins in between
I am young, I am old
I am each age that has been
I am scrawny I am well fed
I am starving for intention
I am famous I am cryptic
I am hardly worth the mention
I am short, I am height
I am any frame or stature
I am smart, I am challenged
I am striving for a future

The color of sky
Is blues and grays
The color of Earth
Is greens and browns
The color of hope
Is rainbows and purple.
And the color of peace
Is people together
Shades of life

I am able, I am weak
I am some strength, I am none
I am being, I am thought
I am all things said and done
I am born, I am died
I am dust of humble roots
I am grace, I am pain
I am labor of willed fruits
I am slave, I am free
I am bonded to my life
I am rich, I am poor
I am wealth amidst strife

I am shallow, I am glory
I am hiding from my shame
I am hero, I am loser
I am yearning for a name
I am empty, I am proud
I am seeking my tommorrow
I am growing, I am fading
I am hope amid the sorrow

I am certain, I am doubtful
I am desperate for solutions
I am leader, I am student
I am fate and evolutions

I am spirit, I am voice
I am memory, not recalled
I am chance, I am cause
I am effort, blocked and walled
I am hymm, I am heard
I am reasoned without rhymes
I am past, I am nearing
I am present at all times

I am many, I am no one
I am seasoned by each being
I am me, I am you
I am all-souls now decreeing

The color of sky
Is blues and grays
The color of Earth
Is greens and browns
The color of hope
Is rainbows and purple.
And the color of peace
Is people together
Shades of life
I am

I found this on a site about bigotry by Erin age 16:

I cried for the boy who never knew me.
I cried for the boy because he was different.
I cried for the boy when they teased him.
I cried for the boy when they hurt him.
I cried for the boy when they took it too far.
I cried for the boy when he took his own life.
I cried for the boy because I saw it all happen.
I cried because I never said anything to stop it.
I cried because I laughed at their jokes.
I cried because he was alone.
I cried because he never hurt anyone.
I cried for his family.
I cried for not talking to him when I could have been a friend.
I cried for the life he will never experience.
I cried for the boy I should have known.
