Identifying

I am not white.

I am not black.

I am not a color.

I am stranded

in the middle of the pacific.

I am labeled.

I am not claimed.

I have not claimed.

Will I ever claim?

A daughter of humanity.

I came from here,

but I also came from there.

I came from nowhere.

I only exist here.

Where are you from?

Here.

But, where are you from?

...There.

Oh, I’ve been there! It was so beautiful.

That’s nice. I’ve never been there.

Why not? Aren’t you from there?

I’m from here.

But I thought you were from there?

I am from there, but I am from here.

I’ve never been there.

I am here. I am from there.

Where am I? I am nowhere.

We just exist here.

Don’t judge me. You’re the same.

Neither here nor there.

Just existing in this place.
