Only An Image
A thug is only an image
An image does not stop you
What stops you is the fear
The fear that the image will become true
The truth to where someone is hurt
The hurted who will not be you
You who will regret the stereotype
The stereotype that should not exist
The existence of the victims
Victims who experience such pain
Pain created from your very image.

My family
