Fear. 
Fear is something that everyone will experience. 
Fear is different to everyone. 
This could cause people to be irrational. 
However, despite fear being different for everyone 
No one should have to tell someone to be afraid 
Seeing a certain group of people should not scare you 
Fear should not come just from the sight of someone 
Fear should not be taught 
To some, the term white privilege is not a real thing 
To anyone of color, it is 
Not having to be worried around a white person 
Not being afraid when going into public 
Not having to stay on your guard 
Fear should not control your decisions 
You should be able to relax and be worry free. 
You should be able to confidently make decisions and not think about the consequences 
The thought of the worst possible thing happening is not normal. 
Or rather, in this day in age it shouldn’t be. 
Scared of the people who should be protecting you. 
Scared of the people you go to school with. 
We should not have to fear due to skin color, race, or religious beliefs. 
What’s wrong isn’t us, 
What’s wrong is the world. 
Discrimination will never leave the world 
The only thing we can do is stop the ideals from spreading.
