They just
Look at me differently
Born a disability,
But that’s nothing new to me
Even Kendrick
Couldn’t clone this recipe
The perception, I see
Neglected
Left to question
Love and some affection,
Left to question
People’s perception of the deprived
pained buried inside,
Judgments I tend to hide
I feel the divide, tears pouring out my eyes,
why lie,
They just look at me differently
like I show, no sympathy
pain turns to tragedy
I can’t find the strategy
the pain turns to agony
I see the Travesty, of being me
They don’t believe in humanity,
A simple human being, a stranger they perceive,
over the years look what I’ve received
surrounded by peers, that show the fears
The whispers, the tears,
why am i here?
the shrugs, the people that judge ,
Look at me Differently
like a man with a gun,
the aggression was my medicine
pain consumed by adrenaline
have I become whole, is this how life is suppose
to go
I don’t know, all I know
Is I’m judged by my clothes
and complex skin tone
i’m a stranger alone
They look at me and show
no sympathy,
I’m living bitterly
standing in disbelief,
wondering if i had the holy keys,
would it create difference,
I have to stay persistent
my life is buried in the trenches
I’m my own witness,
they look at me like beauty and the beast
I’m hideous to society
I’m a menace to societies
I swing from a vine tree, where the deprived be,
I’m poison to the world like Ivy
I’m blind like Stevie
judgments made like they where seen on T.V.
I hate the outcome, But I love the outcome
how come, these people doubt some
Mos Def playing I’m just trying to get by
Playing in my mind
I look towards the sky
Strangers form in the shape of a line
are people humanized
