The pain of being American,

The fear of being judged,
Just by the color of my skin,
Or the gender I am,
How can we live,
How can I live a normal life,

All the opportunities I have missed,

The jobs I have missed out on,
The insurance policies I never got,
We all are judged at least once,
Some more than others,
So I ask again,
How can we normal Americans live,
In a world full of judgement,
And so much hatred in the world,
How can we live,
When we all discriminate one another.

Or maybe just going out,

With a fear deep in our souls,
That the men and women who,
Are supposed to keep us safe,
Don’t.
