I Am Not
I am not black
I am not white
I have always been in the in-between
When I look back
I see a life
That clings to my memory like a long lost dream
I am not a person you would remember
I am not a person you normally would see
I come through like a desert December
Run quickly through the sand and then let the Sierra be
I am not what you think
I am not what you know
Like the sunsets I do sink
My emotions run deep like the ocean below
I am not scared
I am not afraid
Don’t ever be fooled; I am fearlessly made
