Who shall I be today?
Wake up to walk between two worlds
tightrope so thin, you can hardly see it
professional vs cultural
compliant co-worker vs savvy soul sister
too many masks create a heavy head.
Back hurts, neck strains but "strong black women" smile through the pain.
Thank you sir, may I have another?
Work twice as hard for three times the ignorance
Pulled in multiple directions, tugged in a war not of my own making
Can't play both sides when you don't know the rules of war
Acting as a midway point, balance is non existent
Personality is malleable
Smile (but not too big)
Help everyone (but don't ask for help because that shows weakness)
Bending one's self daily is exhausting
One's sense of self becomes murky
Pray for salvation, reconciliations or at least a temporary truce.
