Life is so fragile
Often unfair and volatile
The color of our skin
The different shades of melanin
Offensive to our next of kin.
Created by a God of love and mercy
Have we lost the sense
That we are all worthy
Worthy of our breath
Worthy of our right to be.
I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
Three words we shouldnt have to say
Just to be able
To live a life
That everyone deserves
Just the same.
I pray the stigmas broken
And the norms we know re-written
No one should be the victim of
I can’t breathe.
