I am one of the "Little Rock 9."
I wonder if i'll make it out alive.
I hear the hatred in their jeers.
I see the disgust in their eyes.
I want to be accepted.
I am one of the "Little Rock 9."
I pretend that i don't hear them.
I feel the hate they speak.
I need to be accepted.
I worry for our lives.
I cry each day and night.
I am one of the "Little Rock 9."
I understand that i chose this.
I believe that it will be okay.
I dream the dream of equality.
I try my best to smile.
I hope each day for the future.
I am one of the "Little Rock 9."
