really ~ really

I see you
do you see me  ~
~   really   ~   really

I can see the wisdom
the benefit
in experiencing
who you are
standing alongside you
for a while
seeing
perceiving
from
your perspective
the beliefs
morals
values
that are reflective
of your way
your heritage
such empathy
on my part
will not only broaden
the experience
of who I am
but for eternity
it will
enrich my soul

I see you
do you see me   ~
~   really   ~   really
for who I am

take the time
while you still can
lift the blinders
from your eyes
then look into mine
see past my skin
shed the fear
the predisposition
that standing
in my shoes
for a while
seeing
perceiving
experiencing
the beliefs
morals
values
that are reflective
of my way
my heritage
won’t rob you
of your identity
such empathy
on your part
will not only broaden
the experience
of who are
but for eternity
it will
enrich your soul

I see you
do you see me   ~
~   really   ~   really

peace out
