fraternal twins (differences)

i'm two people in a different body
one girl's white (the part you see)
one girl's black (the part you don't)
i am a white caucasian female
but feel connected to blackness
and don't understand why

i'm two people in a different body
one girl's fat (the part you see)
one girl's not (the part you don't)
bein' put on diets at the age of 12
made to feel ashamed of myself
and don't understand why

i'm two people in a different body
one girl's disabled (the part you see)
one girl's not (the part you don't)
strugglin' to accept that i can't do
all of the things i once could
and don't understand why

i'm two people in a different body
fraternal twins not identical
look and you will see differences
only then will you understand *me*
what makes me who i am

this poem is dedicated to those of us who

I am not sure what I have called it, and sometimes it feels more like "triplets"!!
Good Write! Important message!
