We need to wear
the painted skin of
other skin not quite
like ours to feel
the feelings that
aren't ours and
understand the
misunderstandings
of a world that
belongs to us all.

This is a Black Lives Matter-inspired poem, which is something I've wanted to write for a while but wasn't sure how to form the right words.

For too long I've been complacent in not saying anything about the horrible things that have been happening in the world.

But no more.

I believe every black life matters and we should all strive for equality.
