I am poem

I am
I am a part of the lunch counter sit-in.
I wonder why they think what they are doing will help them.
I hear people yelling mean things at me.
I see people fighting arround me.
I want to be treated like everybody else.
I am a part of the lunch counter sit-in.
I pretend that my feelings are not hurt.
I feel the hot coffee running down my back.
I need to stay focused for what I am fighting for.
I worry about my survival.
I cry, but only on the inside.
I am a part of the lunch counter sit-in
I understand that I might die.
I believe that everyone should have equal rights.
I dream that one day my children will not be judged based on the color of their skin.
I try to keep calm and block out the violence happening arround me.
I hope that we will win.
