The Color Conflict

Strange how I'm judged on the color of my skin



Character is color blind and that lies within



Status can neither make or break me



Title is just a word



Mistaken identity based upon what you've heard



Accepted by this group



Rejected by others



But no one knows the real me



The me behind the "color"



Even stranger still is the response based on the sound of my voice



"She doesn't sound like she's black"



Wow, made the wrong choice



I'm sure this is not how we were intended to be



With you being you and me being me
