Half

In tribute to AAPI heritage month

I’m only half

Half white

Half asian

Not full

Not enough

I’m not white enough to be white

I’m not asian enough to be asian

But what’s the inbetween?

Is there an inbetween?

I stick out like a blank sheet of paper in the middle of a novel

There’s a fine line in the middle

But that line is blurred

And I can never really tell where the border lies

I can’t play for both teams

But I can’t pick one side over the other

Those two halves make me a whole

A whole person split right down the middle.
