Just Look Me In the Eye

My story worth a minute or two
To be unfold it all to you
I hope you do mind listening
Just like you I am a man living

My color is not the different
Your perception gives me impediment
I am a person like anyone else
I don't deserve to be in this fence

Some stereotypes me
But that doesn't kill me
Not all you see is true
Though I seem gray my life is blue

I haven't said all
But still I can stand tall
Thank you for reading
Thank you for listening

Though I may look just another guy
But the whole can be seen just look me in the eye
