I begged and plea
for you to see
the color of my blood
not the color of my skin.
Judge me not by my timid personality
but by the strength and courage I hold.
Judge me not by the way I speak
but by the level of intelligence inside me.
I begged and plea
for you to hear
the sound of my beating heart
not the sound of my surroundings.
Please, judge me not by the way I dress
but by the generosity and kindness I bring.
Judge me not because I\'m \"one of a kind\"
but because I\'m special in my own way.
I begged and plea
for you to understand
the gift that I hold
not what I do not have.
Why do you mock me?
Why must you abuse me?
Do I have to cut off my breath
and stop the beating of my heart
to satisfy you and the darkness within?
