Question: Why You Look At Me.. It's amazing, the stares, responses I RECEIVE! Or overhear, when talking about ME! Sometimes I ask, other times I never ask, what they SEE! It's gets under my skin. When I'm judged differently, Because of my COLOR! Look at me, other than what you SEE. How are you different from ME? Let me guess, you're WHITE! You think you're always RIGHT! I'm black all day LONG! Then everything I think daily is WRONG? What makes you think? The way you think, or act how you ACT? Let me guess, I'm BLACK! To stand for nothing, is falling for ANYTHING! To believe anything, is to falling for EVERYTHING! Defending everything is standing for NOTHING! If you never work for NOTHING! You'll never know, how it feels to earn SOMETHING! I'm not going to live life, the way you want me TOO! I am not the same color as YOU! Look at me as I look at you. I never treat you DIFFERENTLY! Why are you so persistent? Treating me UNEQUALLY! Take an extra second, To look inside of ME!
