People are voices
Voices are people
Stop racism
Stop bullying
Just because I'm asian
Just because I'm chinese
Just because I'm pale
You're treating me differently
My looks
My body
It doesn't define what's my intention is
Others fault
Yet also my fault?
Is that a new kind of humor?
Others mistake
Yet also my mistake?
Such a new stupid humor
Like what's happening to the world right now
You can't go out?
You can't go shopping?
You can't spend time with ur friends?
You can't go to school?
You blame us
Well blame yourself for blaming us
Are you the only one who feel that way?
Imagine your FRIENDS blame you
Out of nothing
Out of nowhere
Others mistake
Well, How would you feel?
That's also how we feel
Feeling guilty out of nothing
That's the voice Y'ALL need to hear

Well y'all said black lives matter
Well IT IS!
Well OUR LIVES MATTER TOO
we asian, OUR VOICES ALSO MATTERS TOO.  When will people stop differentiating people's skin colors?? When will you too?

I've met A LOT of racist people. And I've never talked about it. I'll just laugh. But do they ever wonder "I offended her isn't it?" No one ever stand up for me. NO ONE EVER DID. But I'm gonna stand up for myself. For others.
