Break The "Silence"


 

Break the silence...

Their holding me down

Talking about me

But not making a sound

Silence.

Is it me?

With all the words

Being said, Nah

It couldn’t be.

You see, they say things like

Ur fat or too black

But in reality

None of this is a fact.

Society isn’t made up

Of just one kind.

God made all his children

To look just fine.

So why do WE, us of

Different color rocks

Try to fit in with society

Something we are Not.

So why don’t we

Change society,

And not make judging others

Apart of our priority.

Let’s change the world and

Break our silence
