TWO

Two souls, Two thoughts, Two unreconciled Strivings,

With two warring ideals Locked in one body

To light to be Black

To dark to be White

But yet I am.

I feel I don't Fit in anywhere,

In my two-ness Of double consciousness

And with all my strength, I live as one!

Lucky me, I have two Souls

With the Best of one world

Not Black, Not White, just Human.
