this is all me


*this goes out to all the fellas who are more concern with the exterior rather than the interior bald headed dark brown eyes light tan complexion athletically built (i workout) is what most people see on the outside that's typical-what people don't see is that I am all man, well educated in all other ways their appearance oh well when you 1st look at me, you wouldn't think that i love poetry, play basketball, play baseball, love music, love life in all its glory not at all people don't look at that or even better they choose not to look at that all they care about (if they do) is that i'm just another spic in the united states they'll idiotically anticipate that all that comes out of my mouth is nah i mean they don't see the drive in my heart nor the knowledge in my brain all they see is a bald headed dark brown eyes athletically built ( i workout by the way) never judge a book by its cover open it and read (if you know how to read) as long as one have the heart and the mind to go with it that is all that matters it's ironic though if i were to articulate myself 24/7 gain a few pounds wear big gazelles glasses intellectualize disingenuous discussions about taking yoga don't give a monkey's nutsack what anyone thinks of me can you look me in the eyes and see the person you saw before of course not i expected that-nothing new but you know what? i didn't give a monkey's nutsack from jump you don't have a say in how i view myself i know what and who i see in the mirror a proud puerto rican and if all you see is a bald headed dark brown eyes athletically built (i still workout by the way) light tan complexion then surely, you will be the one missing out

I can feel the same way again, It goes almost the same way with a Black Man. They only judge for what they don't know. Keep it up for all the brothers and sisters who never got their satisfying look just because of their color. Yet we get this disgusting after taste look, as almost they didn't brush their teeth.
