I Can't Pass For White

Poem - 👇🏾

I can't pass for white

My nappiness said no

I didn't get the blue or green eyes

Or the reddish blonde hair

Though my hair and skin is of a lighter hue

But I can't pass for white for you

My hips are too protruded

My breasts are shaped like countries

The urban dictionary is too deep underneath my phrase ology

My accent is of a thicker rue

I can't pass for white for you

Neither of my parents are white

Nor is any of my grandparents are white

My great grandparents aren't white

Though on one side of my family are of a mixture

Are Of a brighter few

I can't pass for white for you

My history is a religion

A spiritual language of truth

Though sometimes truth is half told

Most of the lies are expensively sold

Falsely Written that I am a product of what they say is true

I can't pass for white for you
