Audacity
What gives you the right to look at me?
Making your very own conclusion
Not actually getting to see who I am
Just going off of your own personal delusion
Why cant you look pass your arrogant ignorance
Of what I wear and how it is I look
And cease searching for the errors on the cover
And see what could be inside of the book
(Inside of me)
But of course not that would be too easy to do
And would be way to hard to accept
It’s as if one perception has broken in
About me so I refuse to deal with your neglect
Simple and closed minded but why?
Aren’t we all people that eat, s#*t, and breathe?
Or would I have a positive appeal
If I was to hold myself in a way that is properly
Or what we as people call acceptable
Then you would say probably
But for me to change my image would be just like me
Soaking, washing, ringing and hanging to dry my soul
But who will I convince that the way you look
Does not determine your personality or what you know
Obviously not to you the one who looks at me
With eyes that are repeatedly critical
I think its just insecurity inside of you
And from where I am standing it just looks pitiful
Your intellect has you judging without acquaintance
Just going off what it is you think you see
But you don’t at all have the right to
The right to have that audacity
TO JUDGE ME
