Inside My Eyes by BlindEagle

f you look at me who or what do you see?
A man, woman, boy or girl?

Wondering who that person just staring at me

I see people in groups of two or three

Some laughing, talking and pointing at me

Am I ugly, fat or a freak in the night?

Did I say something wrong or refuse to do right

Why all the stone faces and glares shooting darts at my face?

Am I black, white, red or an unknown race?

Eyes of blue green, hazel or dark brown

Is that your reason for wearing a frown?

My mouth stays quiet and my tongue still

The world around me attacks my strong will

To be or not to be spills out and runs down my face

Shoving me pushing me to keep me in place

Eyes of a stranger is all I see

To see inside me you would never want to be

Red to black, brown to blue

Where is it against the law to tell the truth?

Look through my eyes and what will you see

A man, woman, boy or girl fighting to be free

Do you dare to see through me?
