You specifically told me that
You could never take me home.
You said,
Parents
Would think twice
About a black boy.
I, too, should have thought twice.
My parents always warned me
Of the little differences that will make me forever unhappy.
Everyone was thinking except me

Now that we're five poems in, now do you guys see what I mean when I said I found my poetic voice? I love my other stuff but this hits different, don't you think?
