Me personally though? I'm not entirely sure how I feel. I feel angry, I feel scared, I feel disgusted, sad, frustrated, irritated- there are so many emotions going through my mind.

This is a poem about the #BlackLivesMatter and #AllLivesMatter craziness that is going on. This poem is long and if you don't want to hear anything about this stuff then gtfo and stop reading.

I'm sure you've all heard

of the Black Lives Matter campaign,

same as

AllLifeMatters.


This is super frustrating.


Nobody can

understand

the things we say

the experiences we have

unless they are

us.


Some people don't believe us 

when we 

clearly state,

differences 

between

whites and blacks.


Yesterday,

a police car

slowed down beside me.

I was scared...

scared for my life.


I was simply walking my dog,

when I saw the cop car

and I just continued along.
