NPM Day 12 No More "Hiding"
We are so much more than the color of our skin
but more often than not the lines are drawn thin.
We're put into boxes so we "fit in",
fighting battles daily that we cannot win.
I'm here to start a revolution.
If you'd pay attention there's an easy solution.
Love.
My children alone are quite a combination,
African American
Native American
Puerto Rican
and Irish
If you saw us would you know?
No.
No one knows what we hold inside
you'd rather judge us by our hide.
Why?
Because you're a coward.
