A muslim woman walking
down the street
her hijab beautiful and
present
shouldn't be
afraid
that someone will attack
her
because they are uncomfortable
that she is
different.
/
The things that cause you to feel the most
uncomfortable
should make you want to stay
uncomfortable
until the depths of your soul can understand
why.
//
Black men
beautiful, strong black
men
shouldn't have to tend to
your
ignorant
white tears
solely because you are
uncomfortable with the fact
that he
looks
different.
Black skin glowing.
///
But
nothing will change because you hate being
content with
unfamiliarity
that is why
you pretend that you know how to
love
breathe
listen
accept
live
/
But
really, you are avoiding the known fact that
you are actually just
uncomfortable.
And close-minded.
And you are afraid
of what will happen if
you live
without
it.
Uncomfortable.
//
Try.
