When You Can Read At Night
The other day I scared a white woman and im sorry.....
it was not my intentions to harm her in anyway
and as I think upon that fateful day
I can only say that im sorry
im sorry for the way in which I portrayed my people
im sorry for this evil
inside and out
and im sorry for the way your eyes ,
a beautiful shade of blue,
screamed “ I dont want to look at you”
“I dont understand why you're here.
This man is not my peer.
He instills me with so much fear
and it is only with pure despair
that we breathe the same air”
Im sorry
I have no soul
and my only goal
is to make sure every breath
turns cold, as the hue of my dark abyss
envelopes your soul
but miss....
do you understand?
That in the midst of darkness
I could be the light that guides your hand
that the color I wear does not make this man
and youre judging a cover you cant quite comprehend
but im here for you....
any day you want to open me
any day you want to read my pages
from front to back
and analyze all the facts
which lead you to the statement
that make you look back on that day when
you had the look of pure terror in your eyes
when you crossed my path....
and youll laugh
and say...wow..... I was ignorant
