Honestly, this is probably how most black people feel right now:
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.
