Coming from a home where I’m myself in my space.
Joining a team with new faces feels out of place.
Being around all African American basketball players
You would think I feel in my place
But surrounded by 11 faces that I know nothing about I felt displaced,
Like I didn’t belong .It was like living a double life in this place.
I even challenged myself and did a double sport.
Bowling was predominantly caucasian and I wasn’t able to be myself still displaced.
So I stayed to myself In my thoughts because it was my safe space.
So I tried to make It work but I was just lying To myself still feeling displaced
In my space.
Life is a kaleidoscope
You portray yourself in different environments
Different “shapes”
Different “sizes”
A DIFFERENT PLACE.
