Yours

just different

I have beef with you. you so beautiful but I am convinced. You are ugly! You are both where the ocean of wickedness begins and the ocean of empathy climaxes. The place of chastising and the place of freedom. Simultaneously ! All at once. So who are we? We came out of the best of yourself making love to the worst of you. As the darkness ***ed the shine out of your light. As they merge in the name of love to create a bunch of hate ridden offsprings. The child was born with the skin of light while the darkness dwelled inside. Did we ask to be born? No, But we did. And it’s all your fault! Now I am like you. The darkest of you is now the lightest part of me. And some of my siblings are destined to live the other way around. They look too dark to be my kin. But I tell them, “not all skin folk is kin folk.” They never listen to me. I tell them I’m wearing their life inside-out .and they, mine. WOW.
