Innocent loss

I am telling my story,
from a place that is foreignÂ
to me.
It is dark and lonely here
and i fear that it is a place
where fourteen year old
children are not ment to
be.
Mom and dad always worry
if i'm not home on time.
They consistently remind me
that this world is full of crime.
Attempting to stay to the right
when your friends choose
the left.
Sometimes makes it difficult to
always do your best.Â
Seems as though i am stuck
here for a while can hearÂ
weeping from somewhere near
by.
Where the sound comes fromÂ
i do not know. But it is vaguely
familiar that much is clear.
What is most puzzling to me
is how i ever got here.
Seems like forever since i kissed
mom or shook my dads hand.
And why don't they answer
when i cry out from this foreignÂ
land?
My moms gonna fuss about the hole
in my shirt.Like when i play football
and get covered in dirt.
My name is Trayvon Martin
can't find my way home.
Lost my ice tea and skittles
and can't find my phone.

Thank you for your kind words
but Trayvon martin was shot dead
in 2013 by George Zimmerman
because he was a fourteen year old
black kid who happend to cross his path
armed with nothing but a can of ice tea
and a bag of skittles.
