Inside

Black, white, yellow, or green Why can't we just get along.

See me for who I am inside It is just a shell I live in My soul is what is important Not for what you see outside I can see who you relly are when i look into your eyes "the eyes are the window to the soul" You are a human being just like me You feel pain, you feel love, you feel hate towards those that judge you Can you understand the pain I feel when people say mean things because of my skin tone To me words pierce the soul Why does a world so large have to be filled with so much hate, racism, and judgement Everyone is different on the outside but even more different on the outside. Please give me a chance Get to know ME inside not outside I am human and I hurt, too
