Different Is Lonely
Different is sad,
Different is lonely
Separated from the world he lives in
Growing apart,
He wants to be heard but no one ever listens

Darkness
He seeks light
Yet their is none whatsoever
Just splats of black and white
The colors are opposite
Just like the life he already lives in
He wants change but nobody ever listens

He lives a Forever fighting life
Never heard
He wants to be freed
He seeks hope and good fortune
But he knows it's just a dream

Silent like a pitch black night,
He strolls along with eyes staring all over him
Protesting
He wants to be equal
Yet judged by the color of its skin

Sadness
Anger
Hatred
Three words that he faces every day
Joy
Equality
Happiness
Three words that he feels will never come true

Where am I?

    Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man Book Review

    The two themes that are very evident in this novel are race relations and identity. This novel is set in the time period of a few years after the civil war, and as such the United States is trying to decide what the roles of the newly freed coloureds will be. The nameless man, throughout the course of the novel, lives life as a coloured man and white man both in the north and south. Due to those experiences, he has observed racial issues from a variety of perspectives. The man, brought up mostly among whites, sets out around the country to study the coloureds and share what he learns with his readers. He shows this by stating that, “it is a difficult thing for a white man to learn what a coloured man really thinks …” and “I believe it to be a fact that the coloured people of this country know and understand the white people better than the white people know and understand them. In chapter five, he divides the coloureds into three categories based on their interactions with the white men: the desperate class, the working-class servants, and middle and upper classes. The lower class or the “desperate class,” as the narrator calls them, “carry the entire weight of the race question.” In chapter nine, during an intense discussion of future racial relations…

    Poem Analysis: Theme For English B By Langston Hughes

    The speaker in this poem states, “I am the only colored student in my class” (10). Therefore, he didn’t feel like everyone else in his class when he should have. Later on in the poem he states, “I guess being colored doesn’t make me not like the / same things other folks like who are other races” (25-26). He connects himself with the other white students in his class. He finds similarities between himself and the others in the classroom. After all, he is just an average student like everybody else. Like everybody else, he likes “to eat, sleep, drink, and be in love. / I like to work, read, learn, and understand life” (21-22). Relating to his classmates and teacher, he…

    West African American Identity Analysis

    The laborer looks up to the white-man and catches a glimpse of a life that he or she wishes to have, but instead has the fate of working endlessly in a field due to the color of skin. A stripped sense of identity leads these laborers to long for a table to sit at, or a bed to sleep on with a loved one. The envy generated from the colonized man further strips away any residue of the soul within the laborer. The laborer is left with just an empty shell longing to be filled with endless…

    'Equal Pay For Equal Play By Carl Stoffers's' Equal Pay For Equal Play?

    As she entered the local supermarket, everyone’s actions came to a standstill. They all watched her as she walked down the aisle minding her own business. Their eyes pierced into her dark flesh, discovering the humility that the woman felt as they watched every single one of her moves. The humiliation that she experienced caused her to question how one’s mind could be so immoral to the point where they discriminate people from society because of their skin color. She perpetually wondered what it would be like to be born a different skin color. It was challenging for the young woman to be a part of society without feeling discriminated by others. She longed for the time where color would not create a rift in society and instead would unite people…
