I feel you looking at me kid
you think I'm the one that took your father away
I feel you looking at me kid
thinking I'm the one who never gave you a future
I feel you looking at me kid
and you see my white skin
and all my privilege
I feel you looking at me kid
thinking my kind is not dying
on the streets every day
I feel you looking at me kid
Knowing I had a role to play
well I do I was trained to be
the best that I could be
I was trained to keep you
safe and unharmed
don't get me wrong some of us
Misuse and take it out of contacts
Our badge and skin is Leverage
To cover for the political s*** that
we do behind the covers
I feel you looking at me kid
you probably think I had a good life
I'm not going to lie I probably did compare to yours
I feel you looking at me kid
Realize that although my skin is white
I haven't been treated fairly either
I feel you looking at me kid
Black's aren't the only ones on the government's system
I feel you looking At me kid
We don't all live in protected neighborhoods
I feel you looking at me kid
You know some of us as white trailer trash
I feel you looking at me kid
I've had abusive fathers and not all the way their mothers
I feel you looking at me kid
I have loved ones behind bars
I feel you're looking at me kid
I can't bring back all the black lives that matter
I feel you looking at me kid
I can't cover for what my ancestors have done
I feel you looking at me kid
history has wronged you
abandoned & misshaped you
I feel you looking at me kid
don't become what they say you are
I feel you looking at me kid
let's rewrite history
I feel you looking at me kid
let's not think of our ancestors
I feel you looking at me kid
let's pave another path
I feel you looking at me kid
stop this war because we're
all living in a Thing Called Life
I feel you looking at me kid
I will not allow you to be another
black life that did not matter
I feel you looking at me kid
become something above me
I feel you looking at me kid
show the world this diversity
I feel you're looking at me kid
For our bloodline been mixed
for a long time
I might not look it
I feel you looking at me kid
I will no longer fight in the front, behind
but beside you
I feel you looking at me kid
if you ask me it's him who is supreme

I've been writing poetry on and off since elementary school. i didn't get heavily involved in poetry until the end of middle school going into high school. Poetry and writing stories became an outlet for me during those difficult times
