All I see is... double standards galore.
All I see is... a limited life in store.
All I see is... very few rights at all.
All I see is... a ridiculously skewed law.
All I see is... an unfair trial at hand.
All I see is... none willing to take a stand.
All I see is... my skin, I have to hide.
All I see is... my husband's pride.
All I see is... no hopes of working at a career.
All I see is... my constant ebbing fear.
All I see is... I will never be able to vote.
All I see is... on my brother, my parents dote.
All I see is... segregation, segregation.
All I see is... everyone's constant vexation.
All I see is... life's narrow window and scope.
All I see is... a life of so little hope.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
