love is not just about finding the right person, but creating a right relationship , its not about how much love you have in the beginning but how much love you build till the end


you see the tears on my face
why don't you care?
you think just because my skins a different color it means
we're two different people.

we're not so different
why be so racist
when we can be friends
I'm a child who lost both parents and the only thing i have left is my blanket that keeps me warm

my blanket symbolizes my mother and father and the lack of comfort i have now

so maybe that's whats different about us
but it doesn't give you the right to say the comments that come out of your mouth

what i want to hear is
we're not so different
you and i

i hope you feel bad picking on a child the way you did
