I Am Poem

I am a lunch counter sit-in
I wonder if I'll ever see the end of this
I hear hatred form the mountain tops
I see no change
I want equality for all
I am a lunch counter sit-in

I pretend that I will see equality in the end
I feel hostility burning through my flesh
I need love and good will at all times
I worry that this will never ever end
I cry internally to show no display of weakness
I am a lunch counter sit-in

I understand the misconception of these people
I believe unity is soon to come
I dream of peace between all humanity
I try not to awake from such a realistic thing
I hope for this dream to come true, because
I am a lunch counter sit-in
