Switching speech like he’s undercover.

The echoes of apartheid’s chains

In every laugh in every pain

Like birds afraid to fly.

They stayed in my mouth, scared to soar,

It left me wanting more.

¨bully doing bully things¨

Trevor Noah's skill for staying at a balance between humor and seriousness makes the book able to be read without the situation being belittled. For instance when humor is used it helps with making the moment simpler to comprehend and absorb.

Humor connects hearts and minds,

Shielding me from hurt.

Injustice ringing through the courtyard,

Finding connections can be hard.

When you are young, you simply want to have fun,

Trevor was a troubled boy,

born into this world with no luck.

Having seen so many injustices based on his skin color and origin, it must have hit him like a truck.

Though, even with his efforts the world still saw him as quite the schmuck.

So when the day of love came, and Valentine's Day struck,

Expected nothing, but ended up getting a kiss at McDonalds.

With laughter bright and spirits high,
