Colors

Because of my color, you dont see me The sparkle in my eye, the shine of my hair To you, it was never even there Because of a stereotype, you'll never be free My point of view Where Im coming from Just as I begin, to you, Im already done Because of your blinders, you will never see The openness of my mind The freedom of my spirit Unfortunetly, you haven't enough time Because your so scared, you wont know happy My beautiful voice The pureness of my soul Don't even bother giving yourself the choice Because of fear, you have a disability The light inside that glows My color blindness Go ahead, just keep your eyes closed Because of lies, you love conditionally The smile on my face with my sun kissed cheeks To you its a disgrace, because of a belief Hate me for something I'v done or someone I have hurt Hate me for who I am , not what I am Hate for a real, passionate, undisputed, no questions asked reason Then, just then If you can Forgive, not me, but yourself
