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
