Life in the eyes of a brown person

This poem talks about the many struggles a brown person has to go through throughout life.

Life in the eyes of a brown person

 I go outside,

I step aside.

Don't get in the way

or they will shoot you in the head.

We walk in fear

when the police come near.

We have done nothing wrong

yet they point their guns on us.

They say they're trying

to be nice then they feel the need to call ICE.

Ripping us away from our family

people say we are the ones to be feared

yet they hunt us like we are deers.

We walk down the street hoping

to be left in peace.

For once in our life we don't want to be

 always  checking behind our  back.

Life in the eyes of a brown person.
