Black

​By: Akerya Wong, 8th Grade

​They say I'm black and beautiful 
But I don't feel that way.

They say my skin is my power 
But people like me get killed over it.

I show love but I don't get love,
And it seems to all be because of how I look.

They look at me like I'm an alien,
But I'm human too.
​
Don’t you see me?
