racism
how dare you discriminate me because of my skin
color
you say because i look this way i do not deserve fair treatments
you intentionally harass me!
you laugh and joke about it like its zilch
but deep down you hurt me to my core, you make me insecure about who i am
listen is my skin color a crime?
i met myself this way and i cannot change
i know my rights and i will not let anyone violate them
i am strong,good looking and confident just the way i am
therefore you should respect me!!
About this poem
i wrote this poem because day by day i see people been treated unfairly and been discriminated,marginalised just because of their color and race.It feels e with great disgust as such i want to make noise about it and make people understand how far certain comments on race and color make others feel i'm also demanding respect for all regardless
