Poem Title:
Poem
Did you Know??? All I wanted to do was love, Care, and cater to you. Color didn’t matter, you could a been Red, Green, or Blue. It was your smile, your touch, the way you carried yourself that just gave me butterflies.. Like a warm breezy day after the rain, and all the clouds flouted away. All the plans we’ve made to spend our life’s together, it was like a dream come true, I finally found love, which made my heart feel brand new…. Nothing could change that,” No matter how high or low”, I was set out to make this love work… 5’5 light brown engaged to this fine Hispanic Oh the looks we get whenever we went out as if I wasn’t from this planted. Speaking only one Language I was so confused I didn’t then and I still don’t get what color had to do with how I felt about you. Now that I’m up sitting in this cold room tears fall from my face I guess I should have let it out before, but why didn’t you ever stand up for me? Your mother was cold and so bold, when she looked me in my eyes and said, I don’t like you because your black, you’ll never be good enough with this look of relief on her face. I went for a walk I can’t stunt and I cried until those tears turned into anger, because how could you love me? How could this love last when you couldn’t even protect me from her daily put downs and harsh words. I started to feel the light in me go out it was like she was trying to stab at my heart, but ended up damaging out my soul,… My Family tried to warn me, yes this is true… But I couldn’t I didn’t want to give up loving you, maybe it was my pride or maybe I figured over time it’ll change, but its going on three years and lover your family still looks at me the same, with shame. If looks could kill smh I swear I know I wouldn’t be here all because I followed my heart and I never cared if you was red, Green, or Blue.. it was the love I have so strongly for you that I put up with so much bull. I don’t wonna let go, but something has to change nine months from now I’m supposed to be sharing your last name. Two lives together forever babe, I wonna share my world with you without your family looking down on me, because of my race, its so much more to me then what’s skin deep.. I was always told not to judge a book by its cover come here babe take a set sit back in relax your feet cause itll take a lot more to get raid of me, so why not unwind and turn to the first page you never know what you read about me might just make you want to change your ways, I never cared what color a person was personality is everything…
