Speaking out

Hello
I wrote this to say
That I am taking action 
That I am speaking out
That I am an activist
That I am representing many young teens just like me
ready to speak out
and ready to fight for what is right
peacefully and persevere through our hardships
to come together as a community
as family
as one
to love ourselves
to love others
and to look around 
at the faces supporting you
who are not all as white as clouds
to embrace our differences
it sounds easy, but its hard
because if its so easy
why hasn't it happened yet?

  • How can I write


    What do I write about
    when 
    people are dying
    people are mistreated
    people are misguided
    people are screaming
    people are crying
    people are morning
    people are shouting
    people are angry

    I say "people"

    Our world is on repeat
    until everything is better

    Our lives are going to be the same
    until everything is better

    The same frequency over and over again
    lulling us to sleep.

    Endless nightshifts and worries
