I am from the darkest depths of my father’s dreams
First born, his “brown baby girl”
“Samantha” from bewitched, Lil sister Tabitha
Apple of his eye
birthdays 5 days apart
his spitting image
I am from my mother’s young naive love
Love so pure, untainted, beautiful
Her diamond in the rough
Both born on the 14th day of separate months
I am from my own place!
unapologetic, upfront,
To thy self “unworthy” cuz I
still blame the hand I was
dealt – sorry Not, sorry
