i am my father’s child.
i am my mother’s child.
i am black,
and i am white.
not less black,
and more white.
Thank you, Mom
For the mayonnaise
Plastered on me
Like a filter to hide
My blood
Thank you, Mom
For the twang
I am…
Not just one color.
My mother, my father,
how could I be their daughter?
Adoption is the expectation,
I respond with education.
How is it today you can still take my hope away?
