When I was a young girl
innocent and wide eyed
unknown of the twisted, dark world that was masked of light and glory
I thought that everyone was equal
and we no longer knew what racism was
and the idea of injustice ruling the world seemed
ridiculous to me
but, as i grew older and the world slowly revealed itself
i learned that it wasn't all what it seemed
but there was still horror that haunted the surroundings we live in
and i never knew the very people who were supposed to shield us from
danger
would shoot us because of our color
and i never knew that numbers would define our being in this world instead of our
souls
i wasn't aware that we were still perpetuating the sins from the past
and, this wasn't the world when i was young filled with dreams and delight
but the, harsh world that unraveled itself from its ball of lies and I'm left in despair
because I'm scared
scared of the horror this world became
