Me?

I hope I'm blessed to be able to keep adding to this.

Why me God?
Why me to be called who I am?
Why me to be the son of a teacher-
      and an humble factory worker?
Why me to want to be better then that?
Why me to be born a in 1993-
     and not '33?
Why me to pass a stereotypes-
     and live in suburbs?
Why me to make a living dancing-
     and not dealing?
Why me to lust-
     and love?
Why me to be dark-
     and light-
     and of the redman?
Why me to be intelligent?
Why me to be oblivious?
Why me to read and write-
     sing and dance?
Why me to walk out of heaven,
     and see my age in hell?
Why me to drive off in a car,
     and them to be led inside wearing shackles?
But, Why me to be in your image
hideous,        beautiful,
     hateful,            loving,
          chained,            free?
Thank you-
     for me.
