Color Blind

Is it the color of my skin that keeps you from being my lady friend? Tell me my African American Queen; Maybe I just lack self-esteem. I keep your pretty face in every dream. I desperately want you to remain on my team. Don't be shy or afraid what others will think. Please understand you are my hearts missing link. I want you beside me, never behind. Love is colorblind. Who cares if the public sees us hand in hand. It's not for others to understand. A black woman walking next to a white man. It's annoying when people stare like we are celebrities; Especially when we attend social events and parties. I can tell it's during those times you're uncomfortable with me. That causes a strain in our relationship, leaving my tank on empty. Inter-racial relationships have been around since the beginning of time. It's those individuals in society that are colorblind. We have done nothing wrong. The feelings of love we share must remain strong. For so long this situation has weighed heavily on my mind. I'm letting the world know that love is colorblind. Note: Even after we celebrated our first black President, our country suffers from racism. Especially in prison, and it is sad. I am bi-racial myself. My father is caucasion while my mother is hispanic, and I've never understood racism--never will!
