Privilege
I have it,
supposedly,
unannounced
to me.

I was born,
brown hair,
green eyes,
fair skin,
poor
and hungry.

But oh so privileged.

To speak up in whatever company I choose,
To walk late at night with a hoodie pulled down, just over my eyes
To strive
achieve
succeed
without others being surprised

I know no threat
from cops,
employers,
or admissions advisors.

I see no intimidation
from statistics,
labels,
or slurs.

I have the privilege
of being completely unaware
of my own

privilege
I'll use it,
hopefully,
for everyone
you'll see.
