I am the girl. The one you
stare at as I hold my lover.
her hand, your stares
your hate, my fear
I am the girl. The one you,
my selfproclaimed friend,
wince away from when
As people, we’re always judgmental
Some of us pick on others
Until that person is dismantled
I hate that this is a dog eat dog world
Where is the positivity for the boys and girls?
Protest is a complicated word,
defined as people making their voices heard.
We are encouraged to protest for what we believe,
however no one ever seems to concede.
We are told to work together to make a change,
Pale and blue-eyed
they call me a gringa but that's not who I am.
Some say that I'm lucky
that I don't look like a stereotype,
but we are people, not Jeopardy questions
It was pathetic
the way he had to handle it
the situation
the missing phone
our mom's phone
my sister took it
said she needed it
Life is constant reminder
That some are cold and few are kinder
We only can hope to raise our young
In a better world where its all for one
But we're judged by the color of our skin
