I'm just sayin'
It's hard to be diffrent sometimes,
Do you know they cry at night?
The hatred of being born this way,
Listen to me I got something to say,
Bein' diffrent ain't nothin',
I'm my own person,
I'm black and proud,
not afraid to stand out.
People who are of color or those who aren't as straight as a line are part of evil hate crimes.
You're out here killing your brother, stop the madness and keep the peace...
Or next it could be you or even me.

this is powerful. great writing and amazing message:) i love it. and i am mixed. (half black half portugues) and i completely agree. nothing like race, or color, or ANY of that should matter.
i'd love for you (or anyone else reading this) to check out some of my work. especially my poem 'Torturer of a King.'
it would be greatly appriciated:)
