Apology

-
I have learned that I don't fit in your version of normal. Sorry. I really don't care.
Historically you have heard about my kind. Light skin, not quite white, far from black. Attitude like a mad black woman. Long curly hair.
Sorry. 
Sorry that I fit in every picture, but mix better with deep black and pain. And like the stories my ancestors share. 
Sorry I rather have bare feet and a sore back. Instead of holding out my hand. Go to the community swimming pool instead of the fair.
Sorry.
Not sorry. I am me. Beautiful as ever in my skin. I don't care if I don't fit in your version of normal.

The snow. It's beautiful to look at, but disruptive and dangerous. Some would say the same about a "prisoner", "convict", "inmate". No snowflake is the same, every woman has a name. So why do they say "hurry up and wait offender?! Go shovel that snow, but don't touch it and no snow angels!" Discard our feelings like the snow that's plowed on the edges of the walkways and streets. Because it's a snow day? No because they have the power and we have the inmate number. I just want respect. Why does the world stop and everything shuts down because of the snow, but it's normal operations when the power itches to be enforced? Does anyone care about this storm that wreaks havoc on the soul daily!?

Sometimes I wonder, why do people assimilate to coexist. Adhere to that, honor this code switch in a mirror to be competent but verbally communicate what contradicts. Why do model minorities get the long end of the stick? Because they left their country and fought for it. Why is it blacks started crack when? the government was the farmer to that epidemic that will forever last.  Why is it all Mexicans cut grass and Muslims carry bombs and wear rags? Why did Jermaine get 60 years and Timmy got a pass? Why do Natives stay drunk and fight for THEIR land? Who is THE MAN, and what's his plan? Why are peace officers trigger happy and need medication? Why is the shooting range their only dedication? WHY IS IT THAT A POMPOUS SELF CENTERED RACIST IS THE RULER OF THEE AMERICAN NATION.
