My Choice

You don't know me,
just go by what you see.
You judge me by who I am with,
I never asked for your two cents.

I don't make snide comments about you when you're out,
that is not what I am all about.
I can not help who I fall for,
that doesn't mean I don't date my own race anymore.

This man that I would give the world to,
is a gorgeous black man,
what does that have to do with you?
We love each other that is a fact,
after all you have heard the saying,
"Once you go black you don't go back".

Why should we have to contain our love so great?
I feel like we can not even go out on a date.
So why can't you just let me be,
you be you and I can be me.
Because a world free of racism,
would let us all live so happily!!
