Stressing to make the deadlines

I'm beginning to lose sleep

While Areas near make headlines

I find it hard to keep

My cool with all these protestors at my school

They hold signs with simple phrases

I feel like we're all rats

Running through our own personal mazes

When will people face the facts

Black lives aren't the only thing that matters

What matters is everyone
