Same Difference

Wed, 03/06/2013 - 20:18 -- nuriaf5

To explain to me that we breathe differently,
That we fuel ourselves differently
Makes me wonder what makes you believe so.
What makes our simple human actions so different?
What makes something so simple,
so difficult?
Under our skin, do our bodies work differently?
You look at me in a lesser manner
becuase my skin is slightly darker?
All there is different about the two of us
Is solely what covers common organs
bones, muscles, tendons,
Is this enough for you to claim I am unworthy?
No, I will not let you make me believe I am anything less
All this is
is the Same Difference
