I don't want to get shot!

I don't want to get shot!

When I grow up, I don't want to be a cop.

In the fear of making wrong choices crooked or not.

I am afraid of getting shot.

I don't want to roam in such large crowds, because of wearing a target on my back.

I want to live to see another day.

I want to watch my nieces grow up and play.

I want to see them in a world they don't fear.

I want them to be open minded with hearts pure and clear.

I hate to feel this way, but I want to live to see another day!

I am afraid to go to clubs like I used to. in fear of dying for my civil rights.

I don't want this to be the day. I must run and I hide.

I can't even go out and have a peaceful protest, because it may turn into war.

What happened to us America, one can't be rich or poor.

I can't drop my baby off at school without praying each day.

It’s like I am dancing with the devil.

Satan's temptation was never part of my plan, but I am so close to death everywhere.

I am scared just to leave my house at night, hell even during the day.

In fear, I won't get to see my nieces grow and play.

He had five children, but so did that cop.

Yet both parties were shot!

All were a senseless tragedy.

Who wins today?

The answer is nobody.

Now we are left a nation divided by grief and misery.

Violence is never the way, have we not studied history?

Or maybe it’s been deleted, because it sure is being repeated.

I don't want to wake up in a concentration camp over hate.

It is time for all to have a peaceful debate!

I am in pain for us as a country, hell as a species.

I don't want to grow up and be a cop, in the fear of getting shot!

I don't win whether I am crooked or not.

I fear being in large crowns, being at school, night clubs or large cities.

I am scared to leave my house today in the fear of losing my life to young and full of promise.

Like the people before me,

I am light in skin and biracial in race.

Will I be shot because they think I am white or will I end up on the wrong side of a crooked cop?

Yes, I fear getting shot.

America has gone crazy and I have two babies and one on the way.

They aren't mine, but I still want to see me nieces grow happily.

I know others had families too, that's why all this violence must stop.

This way people can leave their house with no fears of getting shot!
