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
