Freckle Face


Blue eyes, dark hair, caramel skin

Freckles cover her face

What is she?

She is different

They see her as different

They see her as one or the other

She should not have to choose

She is both

She is mixed

Which side will accept her?

She wants to be seen for who she is

One day, hopefully

They will see further than the freckles
