Disrespect me
Threw spit on my name
Keep talking that slime
Here I remain
Don’t know facts
But always have a say
Call me a racial slur
Like I’m just a blur
I just stop and say
Yes I know
I love my color though
Sorry you have a problem
You just must get used to it
Might treat me bad
But I continue to
Remain
S on my chest like super mane
Got accused and abused but
Here I remain

The author's comments:
What Inspired me to write this piece was to get through to teens like my self, and to let them know no matter what negative things a person my say towards you, You will always remain and what they say will not allow you to fall. I just hope this piece touches other people in the world.
