See my Scars
Black Lives Matter Poetry
You say that I am not like you
You say that I am not smart like you
You say that I am not equal to you
You look at me as a threat
You look at me as a hazard
But if you really knew me
You will see I am human
You will see I am real
You will see I cry
You will see I feel
You will see I hurt
You will see I am not perfect like you
And you will embrace me
You will look pass my color
You will look pass my mishap
You will look pass my faults
You will look pass my shame
You will see my scars
You will see my pain
And you will help me
like you would want to be help
like your best friends
like your beloved ones
See my scars and you will see me
