Look
Look
Look me in my eyes and tell me what do you see
because of my past would you look at me different
because I lied do you believe I can change because I am human would you believe my tears because I
smile?
Do you believe I am happy if I told you I smile just for show would you ask me why
because I am who I am and you don’t me know me would
that change how you look at me?
I am human like everyone else in
this world
but the pain that shows from the color of my skin and because my name is too black do that make me different from everyone else
I want to feel the wind against my hair and just be free just be me i am a lost bird looking for someone to keep me up
but that someone is just me
look to your right look to your left tell me
what do you see when I look in the mirror?
I just see me
