The In-between

I am the mirror,
Reflecting what people want to see.
I am the shatter,
Breaking the beauty of innocence,
Native people wish to believe.

I am the pen,
Writing someone else's story.
I am the ink,
Visualizing the world,
No one wants to live in.

I am a dog,
Trained to sit and stay.
I am the collar,
Wearing the name,
Given to me.

I am an ocean,
Thrashing to be free.
I am the sponge,
Absorbing the comamds,
Spoken to me.

I am an equation,
Demanding to be solved.
I am the X,
Waiting to be replaced.

I am a shadow,
Following someone's lead.
I am a person,
Wanting to just,
Be me.

I am the in-between,
Of everything,
Expected to bw,
Always okay.
