Nationality

With everything that's different
I still say we're the same.
Another nationality.
A face I cannot claim.

A mask that forms a body
ignoring what's inside
causing us to struggle
and live where we reside.

I say that we're the same
and think of you as new.
and if there is a difference
it's from a different view.
