I Am a Stranger

I am a stanger to own identiy
Am i a stanger to the world?
I am the hidden North Star deep in the atmosphere's final layer
I am a stranger.
You think I'm not
But don't judge me
Is it the outside of my appearance?
Tge darj sgubt fkiw if my tan
And the way my long brown hair hangs down defining my eyes
Narrowing your options to only a few
So what, get it right!
My last name should give it away
I AM not Philipino, I am Chinese.
Or is it the way i talk?
You hear unknown words blur out of my mouth
The way I roll my R's and my bilingual language
Leaving your options to only one
So what, get it right!
I am not Mexican, I am Peruvian.
The barrier that surrounds me from the outsidee reality
The unbreakable lock to my only out
It's closed because I am a stranger
I'm not your ordinary mujer
I am your jack in the box when you open up a new box of Trix or Apple Jack.
I am Kerzie On Chong.
