Who Am I?

April 5, 2019
By Anonymous

Jamaican steel drums play

Ugandan names with secret meanings

Living knowing I am black, but not what black I am.

I could be from any of these nations and never know it.

Apartheid destroyed

Nelson released.

Never able to rewind time to pinpoint my starting place or

Experiencing my home race.


I have searched and searched for my past.

No information was found about my black roots.

Egyptian gods

Zimbabwe River


Can never seem to find my origin.

Unknown location, unknown past, unknown culture.

Resting in bed, I can not find myself or

To truly know who I am on the inside.

I have been lost

Since 1868.
