Forever Blue
  
  As the tears flowed down her face
  Like rain pouring into the sea
  No one understood her inner pain
  The tears weren't from sadness
  Only in vain
  For she thought that her life was truly free
  But how can you be free, if no one lets you be?
  You open your wings & try to fly
  Then someone knocks you down
  Right before you touch the sky
  The feelings start to fade away
  Like the sun on a rainy day
  For what you hoped to come true
  Will not be
  Because you're not them
  And they're not you
  They’ll never understand your sorrow
  Because the color of your skin shouldn't affect how they treat you
  So you always are and will be blue.

 
I was inspired to write this poem after watching the movie "Selma" because I wanted people to know that its important that everyone should be treated equally no matter who they are.
