Can somebody tell me where to add rhymes in this poem?
It's a BLM poem for a contest and in a different Brainly question I asked if it was good and people said to add rhymes. I don't know where to add the rhymes so can someone please help me? This is the poem:

We all bleed the same blood
We all shed the same tears
But you treat me different
You don’t seem to understand,
I can’t change who I am

My skin tone empowers me
My skin tone enlightens me
My skin tone represents me
It’s who I am, and it’s beautiful on me

Why is being me a crime?
Does my skin color sicken you?
Even though it’s beauty glistens in the sun
Why is being me a crime?
Because I shouldn’t have to walk around
Scared of what will happen to me

A young boy was killed on the street
While walking by to get groceries
A young man was killed on the street
While his neck was under a knee
These things happen everyday
Sometimes I can’t help but be afraid

I have many questions
For those who wish harm upon me and my family
I want them to tell me why being me is a crime
I want them to tell me why my skin tone disgusts them
I want them to tell me why I can’t walk these streets freely
I just want them to tell me why…



please type the sentence i should add the rhyme too, so i dont get confused, thank you! :)

Respuesta :

great poem. definitely needs some rhyming. i have an idea for just one of your lines
“Why is being me, a crime to you?
Does my skin color sicken them too?”

also maybe
“We all shed the same tears
We all have the same fears
But people treat me different
all across the hemisphere”
