You

Who are you?

Not usually a question asked of me

Yet I’ve asked myself that almost daily

Came up with many answers to tell

Most with the mind frame of whatever I do I will never fail

These days people love to tell you who you are

And what you’re all about

Skin color mocha, hair curly when wet yet nappy in a drought

As soon as I open my mouth to speak one single line

You would swear the opposite, looking back at least one time

White girl, oreo, I’ve heard it all before

Cant help that’s how I was raised

Glad its helped open doors

I say I am a lesbian

And that I have a son

Then get told “oh no you cant be that, you’re just having fun”

“you know lesbians love women, they would never date a guy”

Try to live for family like I did, might find yourself living a lie

All in all the fact still remains the same no matter how you find it

Your life is only yours to choose how to align it

Don’t waste time answering those caught up in the hype

Only thing relevant is if you feel it is right
