Lips
In sixth grade, I was told not to kiss girls
God forbid I touch lips with hers and scream out to the whole world
This is me and I was not made so you can tell me what to do
My lips have forever been locked
And I guess this is me coming out
Becuase my lips will be locked no more
I am not allowed to express myself with my lips like most kids
My family told me to stop writing about depression
Yet another privaldge taken from my lips
How could I keep these itching feelings out of my head?
In the eight grade I was told not to kiss those kids
I was warned that I would get a bad rep from peoples approval I don't want
You don't have me to kiss anyone who isn't a descendent of the light skinned Europe
You swear you're not a racist to my face but you're lying
You tell me it was much worse when you were kids
But this isn't the 70s anymore grow up
Who else is left for me to kiss?
No ones lips

I wrote this about my experience with the talks that my family has had with me throughout my life. I am a 14 year old wrieter and I hope to be a screenwriter when I grow up.
