Those times

..And shit like that gets to me sometimes
But then I remember all "those times"

That time that girl in my class said
reverse racism was real

That time that teacher from third-period
said a girl deserved to be dragged
and manhandled out of her chair for texting

and of course that time a kid almost got beat up,
just because he was assumed to be gay

I remember all "those times"
and when I remember all "those times"

I try to block them out my brain
I put a roadblock down
but somehow all of "those times"
came crashing right through

people often ask why I think racism is so real
and why I think the black lives matter movement is so important,
When I myself am not even black

People always ask me why I constantly post about LGBT youth
and make "being gay"
all my school topics

people always ask me why I think  equality
is so important
and I always reply

"why don't you"?
