Black Lives Matter Poem
Standing on the same ground,
They always told me that white is hope
And black is stain
They always told me that white is light
And black is rain
Growing up in the same community,
They say I’ll never get it
Even if I tried
They keep throwing object and rocks
Every time I passed by
Rolling on the same ground,
They say the grasses would be greener
If I move aside
They told me it will be better
But they lied
Opening my eyes under the same sun,
My eyelids are feeling heavy
Without any clue
My eyes are filled with tears
With the deepest blue
Reaching out for hope,
They say I should give up and go home
don’t be awake
They say I should cover myself up
Because I was born as a mistake
Wandering through thoughts,
My mind is filled with painful memories
I close my eyes
For the next second, minute, and hour, I’ve realized
I deserve better
Waking up as the sun rises,
I refuse to say I am blind
Am not blind
I get up and walk out to the world
Feel the fresh air around my mind
Believing in myself that,
I am self-sufficient, I’m tough
And Mighty
I am not a robot, I’m amazing
And lively
Screaming for peace and hope,
I believe that everyone should be treated the same
And let no one tell you different
I believe that everyone is bond together
And fight for the present
Continuing living my life,
I will fight
I will fight for my own right, my people right
I will fight against discrimination
I will fight against racism
I will fight against corruption
I will fight every second, minute, hour
And I will fight against power
