He says this

like I don’t know the names

of people affected by police brutality.

Like I don’t know how he will walk free if he hurts me.

He says this

like I don’t know how America forgets the names of the victims.

Like I don’t forget the names.

Like I don’t want to be another name that is forgotten

in the mouth of a kid

that knows we deserve so much better than to be forgotten

but has no idea how to keep remembering.
