Would You

If we looked the same
No separation between race 
color or shame
Could you love me just as I am
With my flaws, my sorrows, 
even with my honors?
But, if I were different 
Separating race, color, and yes 
shame
Could you still love me for 
being just me
Or would you feel the need to 
walk away again?
