Humanity
I am who I am
Being that I race
Against the society
That bred me;
Myself against norms
What is it like Being
What I am?
What is it that I am?
[A human (un)like you]
Society views me as the
weaker sex
A minority amongst others
I always am informed (confronted with)
What it’s like to be a “woman”
What it’s like to be Korean African Cherokee
*English-hyphen American
If I were asked
“What is it like to be a human?”
I could honestly say
I don’t know
How to be
Who I am as
A classified thing –but
A Human Being!
