#BlackLivesMatter

Well look you've done it again

You let people change who you are

Let people change what you believe in.

You were supposed to stay strong.

You were supposed to stay strong

And you still are strong

But you must fight

Fight for your freedom

Freedom is not as free as you think in this world

People pay for freedom, for happiness

But not everyone has the money to do so

Why must a simple material rule the world you ask?

Who knows......If only people would wake up

Back to the topic, what happened?

And don't come to me with that new style bullcrap

I want the truth.

You must not take the word of society

You must make society take the word of you

You must gain power through your roots

Skin color cannot stop you from achieving

My dear, you can do great things

Oh yes you can never say you can't

I know your can

And so do our ancestors

Look at you

All stressed from making your skin color an obstacle to life

Do not continue

The melanin in your skin is a gift not a curse even though many people say that.

Your melanin is what makes you, you

And you must never think the opposite ever

Why do you ask?

Well it's simple

You must love yourself always light or dark

Who cares about color?

Why?

Because......This is Us
