The problem,
One that I keep coming back to,
In America,
Is one of Identity.
It's a thing that ebbs and flows,
With the coming and going,
Of whatever agenda is pushed.
Now, if I'm pulled over, or looked over by name, or dare I associate with color.
Then they'll **** me and my blackness.
Now, should I take it personally, or empathize within the box they put me.
Then they'll curse me for denying the whiteness.
In this tug of war, I write my own story.
Two races,
One mind,
But the spirit of millions.
I am my ancestors, black and white.
This is my perspective.
I'm taking it back.
