Discrimination

by BeautifulGirl   Oct 3, 2007


The world is screaming at me but I can't make out the words.
They are trying to tell me something in a foreign language.
But I can't comprehend.
I just stand there feebly not knowing what to do.
I step away and hope for the better.
The screams from the crowd get louder.
I'm not sure what to do so I run.
I run till my lungs are burning and my heart is pounding.
I run until I can't run anymore.
But something is urging me along; telling me to keep going.
So on I run and on I live.
That's what I do in my life I run.
I run from confusion.
I run from humiliation and discrimination.
That's what we all do.
Until one of us points it out and everything falls apart.
We break down in frustration. We all do it.
Not one of your friends will ever stand up and say that it's wrong.
But that's what goes on.
You run for your life and hope for the better but it never works out.
They're everywhere, waiting for you like they know where you're running away to.
But you don't know.
You've never known.
You just want to get away from there.
But whenever I try to I end up right back where I start.
It's a continuous circle that needs to stop.
The world is spiraling down below our feet but we let it slide and keep on living.
But a lot of people are dying.
If you truly look around you see what the world has come to.
A place of wrong-doing, and shamefulness.
A place where some people think that only a certain kind of people are good.
And he'll kill them off until they're gone.
I don't want to live in a place haunted by people like the Nazis.
The world screams out at me but there's nothing I can do.
I am one of them.
