"Biracial-Man"
  by PhotoBen750


I am Asian

I am also Caucasian

My color is, but a light tan

My eyes are that of a biracial-man

I began my life in that, of love for a white society

Hearing the calls of my racial mockers I never realized the hatred
towards me

I never knew what I had done to offend them

After all, was I not white like them!

Maybe it was my face... As silly as it is

Hah!, I say, after all these years of conformity

Look at what I have gotten for my love - A kick in the face! -

Wasn’t worth it!

I wish I knew

I turn to look towards the future, but what do I see

A cover of a racial Identity

Cutting it open like an embryonic sack I am born once again

In to a world of a white man, but this time with no shame

I proudly walk in the path of my great ancestors who bore the great this name

Asian, the one that shall not be forgotten!

Oh!, Yes, I should not forget that I am also white

The other half of me

Please don’t get me wrong for I don’t hate who I am

I just feel shunned by a community which I tried so hard to be a part of

I call out to my biracial companions and say come walk with me

Although we are considered the “other “of society

We can still walk with a racial dignity

Be proud I say

Denial is for fools

Only the week will assimilate

Get up lets go it is out time to walk in the light

Where we go is of little matter as long as we proceed with dignity

It is for all to know who we are

Believe me we are human just like them!
