Colourblind

Washed my face Curled my hair Doesn’t make much difference You’ll still stare. Cleaned my shoes Best dress on Want to make friends But you just make fun. Four years old First day at school I still remember You were so cruel. Carried on till the day I left Made life hell Always felt bereft. Made me question Made me strong Why are people’s Views so wrong? So teach your children To be kind Be good in their hearts And colour blind.

Bullying is out there in society Tricia, and racist bullying is the worst. If I am reading this correctly. Thank you for your kind words on my Anarchy poem :)
