Age Well
I tried to stand against racial injustice
stupid stereotypes, and mind numbing ignorance
through it all I gave my soul
only for them to take away the point
so I stay here hoping and praying
maybe it’s not too late to change some minds
I used to hate myself when I was younger
looking into the mirror
thinking man, I’m ugly
god I must be
people just seem to run away from me
is that why I try so hard now?
to have some meaning to my little existence?
it gets so exhausting trying to explain this
all I speak is silence when no one listens
am I a loser because I say the truth?
do people ignore me
because I don’t do the things they do?
I live in a world of blind hatred
but I realize I can be just as ignorant
I judge them and bash them down just the same
we are all human just with different perspectives
so now I understand how I can let these feelings go
hopefully before I get too old
it makes me sick that I get so worked up
I ask myself what can I do to make it through?
the answer is simple
never run away from a debate
build your faith
and age well
find the time to feed your mind
and get away from all that pains you
don’t give into depression
raise your hands high, and be who you are
accepted or not...
