I was taught never to stay where I am not wanted. 
 As I grew older, I carried along with me baggage. 
 Each bag had a different boy
 Or a different insult
 Or stereotype
 Or fear in it. 
 The problem started when those bags stayed packed; 
I never unpacked those bags
 Because I don’t stay where I’m not wanted
. The problem was that the bags wouldn’t allow me to see the places that I was wanted. 
 They told me such places didn’t exist

I was taught never to stay where I am not wanted. 
 As I grew older, I carried along with me baggage. 
 Each bag had a different boy
 Or a different insult
 Or stereotype
 Or fear in it.

I never unpacked those bags
 Because I don’t stay where I’m not wanted
