Raped of your supremacy <br />Because of the color of ones skin? <br />Robbed of your democracy <br />Because you know not your kin? <br />You Don't Say. <br /> <br />Spent a lifetime searching <br />Who you really are? <br />Forfeited real family structure <br />Kept you from going how far? <br />You Don't Say. <br /> <br />Say you missed you goals <br />Leaning on the Lord? <br />Say you done your best <br />And worked extra hard? <br />You Don't Say. <br /> <br />Building bocks of life <br />Sometimes come disguised. <br />Everyone somehow suffers <br />But someway all survive. <br />You Don't Say.<br /><br />Cecelia Weir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-don-t-say/
