Life of a Mutt
When you see me do see a girl
Or do you see her looks
You see a white girl
Thinking she has the privilege
That you have the right to stare
Looking closer thinking what is she
Is she this she that?
Little do they know
Feel like I’m being judged
My hair is crazy
I can’t tame it
It’s part of me
Being black
Doesn’t decide my heart
Being white
Doesn’t decide how I should be looked at
We don’t judge a book by a cover
So why do we judge
Everyone is unique
I’m mixed
Grow up thinking we are all equal
Being a mutt your never equal
To much of this
To little of that
Seen as dirty
Unwanted
Wrong
Life isn’t easy
Feels like you’re going down a rabbit hole
Will it ever end?
The staring
The comments
The names
They never stop
They hurt more and more
We need to put an end to it
Stop hurting each other
Love each
No matter what
