This is for my brothers and my sisters full of ideas, creativity, and passion. This is for those young black lives, the eighteen and nineteen year olds trying to make it to graduation or college orientation.
I am scared to go outside because I am black.
It is two thousand and fifteen, and I am scared to go outside because I wear a hijab.
realize
As I look around all I see is hate
Ina state that over looks every race ..wait excuse me it excepts the whites while the minorities are left on the sidelines..
There is no love left in this plastic society

I know your dreams,
And sense your smile gleam.
Although you share with me
What others will not see,
I am silenced by your brushing hand,
Hamlet speech To be or not to be now that is my question/
Weather to act to or not react and then explain my confession/
