Am one of them

Though not of the same color, but of the same blood.
Though not of the same tribe, but of the same mother.
I am one of them, but I don't talk like them.
I live on the other side of the house.
Where hatred is not a thing like in their house.
Tear my tableaus and throw them away is a sign of animosity.
Am one of them,
but when I come he pretends.
My arrival is their agony.
My presence is his hallucination.
Am one of them
