Constant fighting I see.

But I don't feel the pain that

they feel.                                                                                 

People use those certain words                           

like its nothing, but when really

those words cause pain. 

None of these things are wanted,

but you feel as if it all is. 

You  offend these innocent beautiful people.

Open your eyes you’re 

hurting people.

We are all the same.

Skin color, race, and ethnicity shouldn’t be a comparison. 

Wake up. 

Realize who you’re hurting.


I can’t breathe, he says.


I know.


And I’m here to stand with you my friend.


I’m here to fight for you.
