You Can'T See Me
What one sees on the outside
does not reflect what's within
all the natural eye can see
is the color of my skin
You may not like my eyes
and think my nose and lips are big
you may even think my hair is nappy
and I should consider wearing a wig
But what you see on the outside
does not reflect what lies within
it's not your judgement that hurts me
but it's your ignorance that offends
Ignorant to the fact
that I am not what you see
the very essence of who I am
lives deep inside of me
