We Will Rise!

We hate taking our own lives;

We are dying;

We are not feeling valued;

We are not feeling loved;

You only see us on the court;

You only see us on the field;

You only see us in the magazines;

You only see us on the charts;

You don’t see the realness of who we are;

We are trying to save the world;

We are Kings;

We are Human;

We Bleed;

We Cry;

We Hurt;

We Love;

We Pray;

We miss our Brothers who are no longer with us;

We have words, but sometimes we don’t know how to use them;

We want to rest, but sometimes we can’t sleep;

We have voice and we want to holler, but sometimes no one is listening;

We want help, but sometimes we don’t know how to ask;

We want to accept your love and care, but sometimes we don’t how to receive it;

We want to be held, but sometimes the squeeze causes us not to breath;

We want to trust, but we don’t know how;

We are Love;

We are Hope;

We are Passion;

We are Kings;

We are Leaders;

We will have Peace;

We Will Rise!
