There is a bell sounding in the distance
when you mispronounce my name
that is as common as wind on your street
there is another sounding bell when you speak
of my language as a sister to the one
my enemy uses to force me to subdue my anger
into a little ball of stress
there is noise and hunger
when you paint my features
with lighter colors to make sure they fit
your designated rainbow
there is screaming when you tell me
you mention me to others
the way you mention a badge you've earn
running marathons for cases above you.
