Mari Nard Poems

All my life there's been a fight. If I was born white, I wouldn't battle for my rights. All I want is to be respected, but I've never even been accepted. Maybe if they would just look inside of me, and for once not judge the appearance they see. They'd realize there's not much difference from me and you, or maybe it's to hard for them to face the truth.

Just wait a little longer and you will finally see, that this world was truly created for you and me. No matter how many times you're down, always get up off the ground. Show everyone how great you are, then you'll be the brightest star.
