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!
