There is an emptiness
Festering within
The feeling of
Authenticity and
Belonging
Have vanished
The sense of
Identity is lost
They question
The right
To claim
They question
The right
To be seen
But they do not
Understand
That
They are part
Of the problem
The complication
Of seeing
And being seen
There is an
Emptiness
Within
For they
Do not
Understand
The pain
Or even
The loss
Of not
Having
The right
To seize
Who you
Are
For they
Only see
A color
And
Automatically
Assume
That
Is
Your identity
