Why do you look at me differently? Why do I frighten you? What makes you reject me? Have you even taken time to get to know me? Is it because I call God by a different name? Is it because we do not look the same? Is it because the way I dress? These are just clothes and they are not what makes me who I am. They just cover a part of me, they do not reflect the best part of me. So I ask you will you get to know me? Will you open your mind and see what I have to offer? Will you stay at a distance and not even bother? What can I do to convince you that we are not so different? What will it take for you to live and let live? Perhaps you are just too closed off to see what is in front of you? So I ask if you are not willing to get to me, then why do you still judge me?
