Different

You and I

Whats so different?

Both the same color of the night

Same nappy hair

Dances with the movement of the wind

Same large eyes

Big lips

Big noise

curves 

HIps as wide as the sky

But how are we different? You and I

Just because of our history

Well...

I struggle most of my life

Going in and out of hard times

But i'm a hardworking student

a wonderful cashier

Proud as a lion

Speaks with attitude

Miss. Independent

That's me.

Is That You?

What's your background.

Describe yourself?

I'm waiting.

Why haven't you said anything?

Maybe because we are

Different

Your thoughts

Your past

No wonder why your silent

Your just my reflection.

Different..
