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.
