They named what they feared, after me They called it black They named what they could not see, after me They called it black They didn't see their dark side, yet named it They called it me They smeared my face with guilt They squeezed all worth out of me They did all this and more They won, almost... We are partners in crime I let them I sweat blood for centuries I looked down upon me I gave up, almost... I even tried being them A shadow of shadows I lost myself, almost... I am mad no more I live in a mirror house now, with them We see other faces and smile, almost We see what we didn't see I am me We are free, almost... minesh khashu 2017
