Tired & Hurt
My heart is heavy and filled with pain. It's hard keeping these emotions compartmentalized so I can do my job. I'd much rather sit somewhere and hug my brothers, cousins, godbrothers, & nephews.
Sadly, I feel as if I don't even want to have kids because the systematic racism that people who look like me face. We are legitimately standing here begging for a chance to live and people are calling is criminals and saying our deaths is because of something we didn't do.
Everyone is silent.
We ask why we should care about others plight and were told so it doesn't happen again. But nobody asks about ours, and tells us to shut up when we try to speak, and it keeps happening. Then we are told not all cops, not all white people, not all.
But how do I know whom I should fear? Who will not hesitate to slaughter me because the color of my skin and my English dialect scares them? Why do I have to live in constant fear that I will receive a call saying my brother, nephew, godbrother, cousin was murdered by law enforcement when they were legally armed or unarmed?
