You can't look at me and know my history.
Know the path that I've walked
The trial and tribulations I've survived
You can't glance quickly
At how I walk dress or carry myself
And know me not know OF me
But TRULY know what I'm about
You can't hear my words and
Completely understand the
Foundations of these words the
Significance of the emotions that linger
In the depths of my soul maybe
Similar
To those stories you've been told
All the words you've heard before but
Comparisons Ignorant judgments
Assumptions Or what you Claim to "See"
All the stereotypical things you
Look for when you look at me
Tell you nothing
About who I am, Where I've been
Or where I'm going to so please
Don't push that ignorance
That lack of knowledge on me
But instead HEAR my words
Just take a minute And let them settle.
Ready ...
Set ...
Go ...
