Human

i'm a young East African girl that was born in Africa where I came from.

The complexion of my skin shouldn't define who I am .

I am just like anybody.

See the thing with people these days  is they treat you differently.

If your not  a white american  they wont treat you equally .

They wont give you the same rights .

They will look down on you and spit on you like your a non existent .

That's why you  see a lot of these African  american  men getting stabbed or killed by officers .

 Only because  there Africans.

Only because there not like white Americans.

 The headline on t.v shows the tragic story's . 

Them getting beaten for no reason.

Why is'nt anyone paying attention honestly?

Doesn't anyone  notice this?

Why is that if I'm African I dont get the same rights as anybody?

What is that if my skin isn't a bit white  and I don't have that white complexion .

I get looked as a outsider?

And I don’t get the same benefits?

Why is that if I wear a hijab i'm all of a sudden a terrorist ?

Why does my color or the clothes I wear have to define me as a person?

Honestly what this world and society need to understand is were all the same  were no different 

Were all Human.
