being mixed and having self esteem and self view issues are things i deal with a lot (eg fuckers asking me "What are you?" and "Your name is so... ethnic") and i had to write something for black history month (I'm half ethiopian egyptian and half white but look middle eastern) and this is what happened

Based on line from Dear White People THE TV SHOW

Maybe I haven't earn this right

Maybe I'll always be too white

But

This does not get to eradicate my wins

My vindication, my sins

When you look at me you see

Light skin, white skin

But mine is not the right skin

My skin will never

Amount to the stories been told

My skin will never

Look like those who got to grow old

My skin will never

Be right or be white

My skin will always

Conjure the questioning quirk of a brow

My skin will always

Beg the question of "How?"

My skin will never

Be the thing that connects me to my haunts

My skin will never

Be what anyone wants

My skin will always

Be a tale too long

My skin will always, always

Be wrong

AN: My skin color changes through the seasons, like if you met me in summer you'd be like "thats definitely a POC" but if you met me in winter you'd be like "Hello casper the friendly ghost" who else knows what im talking about
