Rage

2011 5th-6th Grade Poetry Honorable Mention

Rage
It's what I feel
when they say I can't
because of my skin
When who I am
isn't seen
Rage
It's what I feel
When I'm different
Flying in a flock of doves
I am a beautiful crow
I call it individuality
They call it inhuman
Rage
It's what I feel inside
Each word
Gnaws my soul
Rage
I sit alone
Watch them play
They say I can't
Because of who I am
How I was raised
I sit there
And feel
Rage
