Our hearts beat the same beat
We have the same blood
We share the same earth
We breathe the same air
I didn't contaminate it since you're still here and living
We go to different churches but aren't we all looking for the same thing?
Yet you deny me any respect and any ackowledgement because I have a different perspective about than you do
You bellitle me because your parents told you that my ways were wrong
You deny me any help because I'm the color of darkness
You prevent me from helping others because you stereotype me with what is associated with those who follow the same path as I do
You hurt me without even noticing me, sometimes even noticing it and taking pleasure as it builds up your pride and confidence
You render me speechless
You leave me without a choice
You make me angry
You turn me into a monster
You make me judge
You make me hurt
You make me kill
You don't trust me
You don't trust me around others
You feel that you have to warn others before you go somewhere with me
Why do you hate me so? Why is that since we don't share the same views on a particularly issue I have to respect your views but you won't respect mine? Why is it that my views are the wrong ones?...This is supposed to be the better life? This is supposed to be where the heart is? This is supposed to be home? Maybe I'm just too young. Maybe I don't understand. I just never thought experience and maturity meant ignorance and closed-mindedness...Yet some part of me still manages to love you. I guess I was just trained that way.
