I am human
I wonder why people hate us so much
I hear all the racist remarks
I see their anger on their faces
I want them to understand that I am just like them
I am human
I pretend to not let the remarks affect me
I feel hurt, hate, pain, abuse
I need to be respected by those who hate me
I worry every day that I will get hurt at school because of my skin color
I cry myself to sleep
I am human
I understand that I look different on the outside
I believe people can change their feeling and beliefs toward us
I dream of the day when we will be viewed as equals
I try to always stay positive
I hope a change can be made
I am human
