Am I?

Curious

Sure he is

Is there a cure for this?

Lights and shadows

Faded yellow

Hue darkens my bones

Favored in my aloneness

Each night I would slip

And wonder where my home is

What are you?

As if a color defines who I am

I am the kind that doesn't mix

Spotted

Dotted

Patched

Splattered

Unmatched

Unhitched

Why does it even matter?

I am art

Undefined

Abstracted to those

Whose mind that

Can't seem to find

Expressed tones

Singular nodes

Of sunshine and cold

Jaded

In my faded skin

As my pigmented face

Loose more melanin

Did this make me less black

Or brown

Because my hands are now

white

Codes ridden

Hidden flows

Strokes wishing

for an end

Underneath

My skin

Glows

a soul

Who knows we shine like the rainbow

I am a reminder

That I cannot be confined

nor will

I be defined.

My gold glitters outside the lines
