THEY HATE YOU 2
They hate you in the car.
They hate you on the bus.
They hate you in the store.
white people, they hate you, mexicans, they hate you others racist;
they hate you too.
racism is what made them hate you.
Because, your not as white or tan skinned as them
or because you don't learn as fast as they do
Bias
the reason I struggled with success I stood for failure
I didn' think I was pretty enough,
I didn't think I was strong enough
I didn't think,
I didn't have the ability to think for myself
they made my answers., and when I tried to speak out they would say
SHUT UP!!!!!! YOU'VE SAID TO MUCH !!!!
whenever we speak up against police brutaity they say,
you have the right to remain silent.
And.... Everytime we try to help our people they tell me.
give up you can't win.
But, I say; the end of my trouble has just began.,
because.
I am ROYALTY.
I
HAVE
ALREADY
WON
BECAUSE OF WHO I AM, AND, WHOSE I AM.
NOT!
THE COLOR OF MY SKIIN!
I am not BRown.
or black.
I am not the bruises in my heart
from the punches of life.
even the punches from man's words it abused me!!
BUT!!! I AM STILL HERE
WHY?
BECAUSE I STOOD IN THE MIDST OF THE SMILE BEHIND THE MASK OF TEARS.
the tears and pain that lasted for 23 years
now i can be still because God says I AM here.
