Never Face to Face

When you look into my eyes, you don’t see me. You see my clothes, my skin and my hair. Why does it matter what I wear? You may not know this about me but the inside is pretty but you can’t see that because you’re so caught up on how I look when my name is unknown to you. You already gathered your own perception out of ignorance, hate, and aggression before you have even given me a chance to make a valid impression and you’re missing out on who I am!

I AM BLACK. I AM STRONG. I AM INTELLIGENT. I AM FEARLESS. .. I AM ME!!!!
