My family is too many shades of brown for you
For your white colored eyes and "colorblind" view
Our levels of skin color confuse the tapestry of your
of our
of my family history.
Our family history.
I wear it on me and then feel too warm, my gut feels that thing when you have to get it out of your body.
When you know it's not the real thing.
Well face the confusing brownness, the colors you didn't expect.
Face it.
See it.
Or don't see us. Whatever.
But we will go on going on. And being beautiful and strong.
Like a waterfall.
