My words are asphyxiating
           I cant understand
the weight upon me.

I didn't deserve this,
                   you kneel on
          me like a ill treated dog..


Do I bark, no..
                 I plead for your humanity,
but you just stare with emotionless eyes..

Who cares if I cant breathe, me..
           my family, a daughter ill never see,
                       but you just ignore...
Its not fair that I'll never hold her again,
              close to my slowing breath...

Could anyone help me, they just sleep..
   until I cant breath...

       Who cares if I cant breathe...
the flickering of racism shown
                   to burn brighter than my last breath..


I matter, I lived, i died. but know that i couldn't  breathe...
                                      and it matters, Mum.....
