I am black
I am white
I am everything you are
I am human
I am a man
I am a womean
I am everything you see
I am human
I feel pain
I feel joy
I feel everything you feel
I feel human
I am different
I am unique
I am who I am
But still I am human
Hit me
Kill me
But still, I will always be human
You think I am a monster
You think I am a fool
You think I am so different from you
You think I am not human
You fear me
You hate me
You look down on me
You think I am not human
You hunt for me
As if I am a monster
Perhaps if you were to look into the mirror
You might find what you are looking for
You claim I am a murderer
And yet you are the one
To pull the trigger
Call me a violent
And yet your actions kill my brothers and sisters
I fight for peace and equality
And yet you still see me
As a threat
Am I a monster?
Do you see in me
A reflection of you?
Am I a bad person
When I ask for some air?
Am I a bad citizen
When I obey the law and still get shot
And left to die like an animal on the streets?
Am I a bad wife
When I ask for you to stop hitting me?
I do not have the power to change my skin colour
I do not have the power to change my gender
So I am different
And that is what makes me HUMAN
Just like you
