    Self survival

  • Various shades of skin

    Are you your sex? Or are you your spirit? Does it even matter How other people perceive you? Surely being authentic In a world that’s so fake Is more important In this day and age. Why justify your being Your very existence Are you seeking attention? Is this what this is? Who cares about your…
