I see you now.

I have been stripped,

I have no

Preconceived notions,

Century old stereotypes,

Religious morals,

Chauvinistic attitudes.

There’s no barriers,

Blocking my view,

No invisible shields,

Nothing.

I don’t see your class status,

I don’t see your gender,

I don’t see your color,

I only see you,

A human,

A human being.

I am stripped,

I see you now,

For who you are,

A fellow human being.
