No Rose-Colored Glasses
I’m not sure
What is what anymore
But I know
This world is not black and white
You cannot tell me what to believe
When you are unsure yourself
You cannot tell me I am wrong
When there is no answer
You cannot tell me who I am
When I do not even know
You cannot tell me what I think
That I know for sure
Everyday I find myself in a new way
I see my soul in a new light
A bright light
Tell me the truths
But do not omit the lies
Show me the pain
As well as the beauty
I will not judge the world with blinders on
I wear rose-colored glasses no more
I see you judge me
When you do not know me
I see you categorize me
Because of my race
My gender
My age
I see the horrors of humanity leering in my face
Blasted over the loud speakers
Are the wrong doings
The mistakes
Our world is judged on Wrong
Not Right
Let us not see just Beauty
Let us not see just Pain
Let us see the situation in front us
Take it in stride
Help those among us
Who have been wronged in the past
Let us hope for the best
Prepare for the worst
And hang by a grace
