I sit disgustingly high on my throne Looking down at those who don't share the same pigment A sliver plate was placed in front of me at birth On it had everything i’d ever need Financial stability, a house, clothes Food, parents, education, safety My heart pumps nothing but racism through my veins An artery of cruelty and death
I strongly believe that ‘diversity’ equals white genocide More of them means Less attention on me Confederate flags litter my house My car, my clothes A simple reminder of the good ol’ days Kicking them, Kidnapping them, Killing them My life is now Being waited on hand and foot My every move watched My every need taken care of My husband As rich and powerful as he is Through his fragile and egotistical nature Shows no mercy to me and my kids I will never struggle to provide for my family I started my life on the top of the ladder For my skin is my privilege
Someone is lying….
If i showed you a mere glimpse of my life And the world’s nearly unbearable Weight on me Would you believe it? I carry a list of illnesses from A to Z A suicidal uncle who no longer shares the same air as me Colour, race, and religion Hold no limitations to my pain The day in ,the day out Cold, Suffering I will not be constricted to the rules set on whites By whites I am defined by my actions I stand before you as I am I am well read and independant Fiery and calm I walk my path with integrity pulling my head high And shoulders back strong
I am made from my experiences I am not constrained to my personal history I was taught this social cancer But surely, this can always be forgotten For my skin is my privilege And my privilege is being me
