What am I?

I am a dark skinned child seeking for answers Who am I? What am I? Where do I come from? I am tired of being labeled African American/Black How do you know that I am African American? And I am definitely not black Take a good look at me Remember back when you learned the difference between BLACK and BROWN I could be Ethiopian, Jamaican for all we know but because I am chocolate colored I am assumed to be African descended I was given the last name Pinckney Take a minute to google that name That man does not look like me Pull out your history books That man does not look like me But his last name is mine so he must be a part of me I just want to know about the other part The part that is forever lost and covered by a last name I just want to know about my ancestors The ones taken against their will the ones who do look like me The dominant race that made me this dark beautiful chocolate covered child that I am today But until then, I want to be labeled as brown I may not know my race But I do know that I am brown
