Is It Weird That I Just Wanna Cry?

Is it weird that I just wanna cry?

All I feel is anger and pain inside

And aint none of it mine

Tired and fed up

Wanting to be heard not locked up

Wanting to breathe instead we choked up

Is it weird that I just wanna cry?

For all those who have to hold their head up high

Put on a brave face every time we go outside

Dare not show the fear we hold inside

Going out into the world not knowing if this will be our last good bye

So we live day by day knowing that we have to at least try

Give it our all until we breathe our last breath to say that we tried

But what is to try if failure is always on our side?

Is it weird that I just wanna cry?

Hold space of healing for all those who have to ask why

In a climate where the color of our skin is a reason for divide

Release into the universe all that we can’t define

For my people are hunted and killed and there is really no reason why

As I raise my sons in a world that will not give them a chance because of what meets the eye

Is it weird that I just wanna cry?
