Okay, I didn't write this but I came across this poem a couple of years back while doing research for a college paper on multiracial people. It's still one of my faves till today and I just wanted to share it with you all. Enjoy!
I am like the water; I am the sea
I hold no shape; I hold no place
I am nowhere yet all over
And I am still yet I am flowing
I am clear; I have no color
But I love to reflect assorted tints
I can be azure like the couldless sky
And I can be gold like the setting sun
I am caprious, so-to-speak
I change myself as I feel
When I'm happy, I'll be gentle
But when I'm not, I'll be rough
I am caring; I am concerned
I look after all those around
I try to guide all lost vessles
Back on the route safely home
I want to be the best for those
Who seek for me and care for me
For those in trouble, for those in tears
I want to comfort as much as I can
I wander; I drift
I search; I look
I fight; I protect
I rest; I dream
I am strong; I am weak
I am trying; I am challenging
I search for myself; I see my shadow
I am who I am: I am myself
I want to be the water
I want to be the sea
