words can hurt

Words can hurt
Black and white are in a fight
But no one seems to find the light
Don't climb the ladder
Tearing down other for you to rise
The generation’s are being racist
Someone needs to stop the latest
Words can hurt 
2 words can equal ten tears
it's been going on for all these years
Fill a bucket 
Don't just chuck it 
Words can hurt
More than a shove 
Someone please just show some love
The anger is rising just like the temperatures
Please just someone be mature 
Have racism exist no more 
Words can hurt 
Don't just blurt

racism

racism
Different skin
but no difference 
within
Different races 
All human 

No reason to blame 
Say no to shame
A world with many shades 
Don't be the one to throw the blades

They say 
Accept the hate 
It's just your fate
I don't want to
I don't need to 
So i don't let them 

Say it doesn't hurt to feel cool 
But it hurts 
Like grazing a knee
They put a bandage on to cover what they did
But its still there just disguised 
Stand up 
Speak out
Make a change
Isnt it beautiful that this 
world has such a range

the middle

I speak just to realise no one is listening
That feeling hurts like when your parent ignores my good for my brothers bad that kind of feeling were you clearly got the least amount of christmas present but can't be rude so hold it in
Every year is just more tears 
I give and give and give and they don't notice until i give up
I want to talk about but can't because i don't want them to solve my problems i don't want them to draw attention to me i just want then to listen
To sit there with me till late at night and listen to me talk as i sob in between sentences

christmas

Christmas Poem
Jingle bells 
The doorbell rings 
Granny and grandpa
With Present for all
Jack screams then
runs down the hall

Jingle bells 
Dinner ready 
Granny yells 
Eat till you can't 
The wrapping paper is ripping 
The people are thanking

Splash in the pool 
Trying to beat my cousin 
Cause he thinks he's so cool
Mum and aunt lyla 
Bragg about us kids 
A secret competition
My dad still doing business stuff
My dogs trying catch the fluff

My uncles just ate dinner 
But i watch as they let the sausages simmer
My sister aria mashed potatoes
I shoo the fly
As we say our goodbyes
My uncle yells
Merry christmas to all and to all a good night
