Take another Look


When you take a closer look at me As, I take a closer look at you. We look the same We both like the same sports. Think Vivian from math class is cute, But somehow were so different Or that’s what our society tells us And even though when we stand side by side we may appear different We aren’t. The color our skin is not the problem The problem is, us. We believe the stereotypes The primetime broadcaster That tells us were are different For us to be equal We must forge ideals And believe We are not different
