Judge Me

Look me in the eyes
take note of what you see
look beyond my skin
 Judge me
not by my skin
nor by my mistakes
or by your hatred
 See me as I am
a man
imperfect with my own sins
able to bleed
but full of good intentions
 With love
able to give
full of forgiveness 
my compassion overflow
and yet mercy flows
like a river
