In The Darkness

Filthy emotions pile up within thee
Anger and sorrow for those who hurt me
You made me put shame upon myself
How could you act so carelessly?
 
A word meant to hurt the prey
Who only wanted a simple race
That was fair and equal, nothing else
But some of the people just couldn't embrace
 
The Spanish word from the word negro
That they all find so hilarious
That hurt myself and other people
That you don't seem to even consider
 
My feelings, my pride
My race of which I cannot disguise
Be brave my dear, don't try to hide
They tell me, they tell me, I hear, I hear
I'll speak out for those who also fear
 
The prey, I am, the prey I hide
In my room surrounded by my kind
But I'm all alone, no-one is here
But the darkness that you all once feared
 
The prey myself, the prey you fear
The girl who hides in the darkness here
Of her room where no light shines
She finally blends in, in this world, in this night
 
Not judged by my personality, but by my kind
The race, the skin, my face I can't hide
Accept at once, don't make me cry
The sky, the sea, my tears have dried
 
Tears are dry, eyes will stare
At the difference of her between them
She now walks with power and hides her trepidation
But they are sadly still hating
 
“Only in the darkness can you see the stars", A wise man once said,
But the stars have all suddenly fled
Away from the happy innocent prey,
Who only experienced racism all day
 
The pain you give, I just can't bare,
The pain you give, the race still fears
In the darkness that's where we'll hide our fears
In the darkness that's where we'll hide our fears
