Still Pushing


Though others were ashamed of the color that told are history The pain and struggle, Not knowing what tomorrow held in the eyes of the oppressors that stopped our growth. We pushed and still kept pushing. Through the tears and slammed doors pushed to the back like old mold. Spitted on and mistreated. We pushed and still kept pushing. Leaders standing and falling. Cause others hatred continued. We cried, but kept pushing. Change was our desire As we pushed through the fire. We excelled but we need to keep pushing.
