i am my mothers daughter.

i am my mothers' daughter. you don't see her like I see her because you are blinded by society's colored veil i see her because she is my mother i see her pain and her struggle you look away because it's easier because you reap the rewards of your white skin and perfect vocabulary she is repressed and cornered and i will be her warrior. you will not repress me or hold me down because i speak up, i shout out, and i make things known. i fight for the beautiful ethnic girls of the future. may all your voices be heard.
