I will wear the same dress that she is wearing
Worship her idols
eat the same food she eats
talk about the same men
put on the same jewelry ”because it’s desi”
I will talk like her
follow the customs that she follows because it makes me more
and get mad at you
for not understanding that she and I come from different places
I come from a place where ”ethnic wear shops” sell copied ideas
which century do you live in?
because ‘Ethnic’ in this century means ‘copy pasted’
it was based on ancestors in the last century
I wonder who is blind
whether its you who does not see the differences
I do not show
or me
who is blinded by what everyone is busy seeing
whatever it is
I am offended
and I will be until you accept she and I are different
