Passing

I know you don’t see me
If you did you would not say such things
I know you feel inferior
If you didn’t you wouldn’t utter those words

You think I am like you
At first glance
I pass
So you are comfortable
You open your mouth and the refuse pours out

I know this well for it has been my whole life
At first glance
I pass
So you speak your mind
Your hate pours out
You love our culture but hate our color
You think you are safe and among many
Little do you know
Your world is small and shrinking
You try to run and hide behind your hate but it leaves you weak and exposed

If you’re looking for strength
Try LOVE you fool
