What category do I fit into?

I don't want a dispute.

For some, I talk to proper,

And for some, not proper enough

I want to please all,

But I am afraid it could cause my fall.

Acting too "white" will make me seem stuck up,

But acting too "black" could get me locked up

The people around me, 

Who I love and I adore,

Do not understand how much this shakes me at the core.

An example that in many minds seems far,

Is when I see a cop car.

The lights flashing bright,

I always make sure to act right.

"White or right," is the question some ask

As long as I'm respectful, I shouldn't have to worry.

The real question is,

When can we finally end this journey?
