And they said
You can't.
And they said
It's wrong.
And they said
That you
Shouldn't turn
Me on.
---
They said
That I'm
Superior to
You.
That I shouldn't
Like you
The way I
Do.
---
But I see
Your skin
So dark
So rich.
There can't be
Anything
Less perfect then
This.
---
And it's not like
I
disagree with
Them.
I don't know
What to think.
Inferiority
In you
Is impossible
To believe.
---
I can't
Imagine
Being better then
You.
It just
Can't
Be
True.
---
This is so
Confusing.
What the hell
Should I
Believe?
Then things
That I
Grew up with.
Or the things
That I
Can see?
