Look at you

Wendy Clark 1987 (America)



How do you see me.
what do see.
Am i nice, am i mean or anything in between.
What do you think no more, no less than what other people perceive.  
Is it because I'm white, black, Latino, or just different from you.
Am i American, Indian, Asian, Jewish or a Christian.
The things you say it may bother me.
but not as much as it bothers you when i laugh back.
All i know is it doesn't matter.
What color, race, religion, or a different language a look.
As for you all i can say.
is that you are no more than what you critize everybody for is just a reflection of you.
So don't judge me or others for your mistakes.
Look yourself over and judge yourself !.
