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
