this depicts no race

can you tell my skin color?

my ethnicity?

we are all one as a female population.

the same ovaries.

the same cervix.

the same uterus.

yet when you tell me i am nothing like you

because of the color of my skin,

I am appalled.

I might not come from European descent

or have smooth long locs

but I do have one thing,

forgiveness.
