Never Told My Lives Matter

i never felt alike the rest
always like i was less
everyday of life a test
never able to address

always was the one in trouble
singled out and made example
often would it burst my bubble
punishments i felt were ample

isolation in my mission
so my mood stamped down flatter
still i face this repetition
never told that white lives matter
