The Pain that is never gone


I'm black and you are white should I run

Can we stop punching each other?

If I cut my skin and you cut yours the blood will have the same color, red

Why do you hate me so much?

You hurt my friend and you bully me to break me

Let me tell you we are stronger then that

We will not give up because we know it's wrong

I shouldn't be scared to walk on the street at night

I shouldn't be scared to walk in shop in a white neighborhood 

Being hungry is not a crime
