One with silver squares in their mouth says that I am dumb and black.

At my old home,
black was a color of evil and hate.

What have I done wrong
to be part of such evil and cruelty,

Mama and Father
would have been very disappointed in me.

When Hannah comes back
I am too sad

to have the
chocolate cow milk,

the sky
that was once sunny

is now sad

and gloomy.

I just want to sleep

like Gol does
when the sun hides in the tent of stars..

But I still see
Mama and Father

disappointed in me
when I close my eyes.

Hannah asks me what is wrong,
I worry that if I tell her

that I am part of evil and darkness
that she will not be my friend anymore.

I do not want her to not be my friend.
