Mulatto
I don't have a category
or faction
or division
or race
not fully accepted anywhere
4 years old, no race to call home
too white for one
too black for the other
8 years old, no race to call home
9, 10, 11...
where do I go?
a slave to one
too sheltered for the other
too light for one
too dark for another
12 years old, no race to call home-still
why is this okay?
a criminal to one
shame from the other
15, drowning in the midst of everything, no race to call home
different feature don't come in handy when
there's no one interested
18 years old, dead.
