Difficult hours comes out with shamed memories
Time ungrateful to reminisce on how it used to be
Tried to converse but always ended with the opposite
Just horrible, seem an alien to this world
But haven’t touched a rocket ship
Immigrated young dark skinned twin
Never heard of happiness only sin
Can’t remember that last time she feigned a grin
Marked arms form hiding in thorn bushes
But surprisingly fine knees
Woke up in the Care Center
Can’t remember yesterday or know where she is today
Astonishing seeing a Chinese man first in her lifetime
Said hello, “I’m your caretaker …”
Interrupted by her light-sneeze
She was confused when he answered with “Bless You”
He taught her essentials to live in this nation
Then tested her by handing her a bottle of Fabreeze
And gently asking “Please clean”
She only needed it in her head of the hoarding mess
She frantically taking steps back
Too much to handle
She dropped it all
Slowly falling down the white wall
Crying about flashbacks, of far moments of her past
When her parents only cherish the presents of their taller twin named, Paris
Like a rabbit that specifically found golden carrots
While the parents are making sure Paris’ life is fulfilled
She is sitting in the dark cobweb hidden corner nappy head stuck between floorboards
The only time her mom could call her name was for a beating
Except the saddest occasion to get dressed
For the countries reaping for the few and only allowed to immigrate
Fear of being surrounded by Caucasians
Coming down to earth talking to the Chinese man
Laying down having a consultation
Deciding to make her intermission
Without a word goes out the side door
To taste a unusual winter air
Looking back at the care center
Waking up, the teachings, and the Chinese man
Is all that she can remember
Exploring the perimeter of the building
Encountered creations
That kids of all different colors of the rainbow
Were invading and amused by
She walked up trembling each stride of her bitter feet
Turned around to afraid of the new scene
Crossed the icy road didn’t check left and right
Two bright suns coming closer she was hypnotized by the sight
The two suns became more define in the shape
The machine stopped inches in front of her
Strangers yelling she was shocked and terrified
She was perplexed ran inside and tripped up the stairwell
You couldn’t tell by her face about the feelings she behold
Days later, only observing she didn’t talk much
Got enrolled into the nearest middle school
The 7th grade, heart beating insane
Shaking legs, hair and head hung low
Everyone in the school looking at her
Not sure if the multitudes of average dudes
Were looking because of how she hold herself
Or of her darker pigmentation of her skin
Confused how to work her locker
Jossé and Trayvon came along and helped her out
Next day Trayvon got shot in the skull
When Jossé was talking about the topic with her
Jossé asked what her name was
She said “I doesn’t know or remember”
Jossé was flabbergasted
Asked to call her Fantastic
Other kids looked at her funny
Didn’t know her own ethnicity
The depression hit, the Care Center had to close
No house to live, that couldn’t turn into a home
She starting skipping school
Joined a group out of peer pressure
Felt obligated didn’t know the answer of no
Became one of the Untouchables
Dropped out of the 7th grade, she had no class
Didn’t soak in anything she was taught
Rotted the good education
Wide open doors for the bad to erode in
Untouchables saw her actions and named her naïve
She said “That sounds good to me”
Then after the conversation
Desperately finding the word in the dictionary
Naïve, her actions, and gullible in the same approach
Spending all her blood money on bootleg stuff and became broke
They say she gotta learn, but nobody is a teacher
If they can’t appreciate it, then how can they reach her
Negative her mind set, hot-wired an old in custody of Cadillac
Drove and picked up some hitchhikers willing to pay on the way
To the nearest Mountain Range
Everybody back in her recent past
In her head was ashamed of her name
She woke up, wet from mountain dew and nervous watching the sunrise
Then noticed it could possibly come down to her young age and wanted to apologize
