Color Shouldn't Matter


No kidding, I’m black And you’re white And she’s Hispanic Don’t lose your head We’re all just colors No need for all the panic The only difference between us all Is the complexion of our skin? But just like in a coloring book All that matters is what lies within Give me a reason, as to why I just don’t compare Am I too dark? Am I too light? Or am I even too fair? Pardon me if my race offends you in any kind of way Come on its been 60 years and we still act like yesterday I’m a danger to the world, I’m against fighting and I love to learn But as a black individual let’s get real that sounds absurd Stereotypes and racism is why we all can’t stick together But when all is said and done my blood won’t bleed any redder

Honestly everything I am is written within the lines of each poem I write. I've been writing for a few years now and honestly I'd be nothing without poetry and writing.
