Special Not Different

I may be different from You Just because I am brown skin But deep down  Under this brown polished skin Are white skeletons  Same as us  I might be the different culture  But where light goes out  We are all black shadowed individuals  Not so different  Why harm me on purpose  Making me feel like a lower being  With your fist trying to break my bones Where your fist could not touch  Your harsh depressing words did Is it because am different  Maybe my skin wasn't as bright as your Or my background different Why turn your insecurities  To aggressions on me  Because, am considered 'Not Normal' Sometimes I feel insecure  That I skip Classes and other Places I know you would come  Could not speak You made me promise not to Even if I did, who would listen  You, Bystander  From him, you are not so different  He pushed me to the floor  Why not help me stand  Why and why  Why just stand there and watch me fall Why not say something  Why not tell me  "Am not different, Am special" Why not wipe my tears  Why not help me stand  why not teach me to stand for myself  And fight back  I will survive  Maybe on my own, maybe not  But I wouldn't just stand there  Watching the next kid being bullied  I will stand for him Teach him to stand for himself  Tell him "He's special" No one is perfect  None without flaws  But if there is anything next to perfection  Am that #dorosays
