Colour Of My Skin Date: Saturday, 1st February 2003 @ 10:00:00 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: Carmen Why do you hate me Is it because of the colour of my skin Has no one told you beauty lies within You nothing about me But still the colour of my skin is all you see Why do you resent me because of the things I choose to believe in You and me We're not really that different Hopefully one day someone or something will make you see That there's no reason in the world to continue hating me We're all pretty much the same And ignorence isn't a game If you treat someone like dirt The only thing you've done is hurt This poem is Copyright © Carmen Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
