Look At Me

LOOK AT ME Take a good look at me, tell me what you see Tell me what you see… You still don’t see me… you still don’t see me, you ignore the truth Do, I scare you, is it my skin tone that alarms you Tell me…why? Is it my curly locs, or is it my full lips or my hips that hold strength Take a good look at me, tell me what you see Is it the way I walk, or the way I talk? Take a good look at me, tell me what you see, It’s all real Take a good look at me, tell me what you see I am more than skin deep… I was born with a price, paid in full So, why don’t you see me? Open your heart, Surrender your soul… Accept the truth Because, I am still here… ©Valerie Jean Grimes
