Biological Essentialism

I'm an immigrant

Not by choice

By ending up here

Somehow

I grew up here

Spent my life here

Went to school here

Worked here

Played here

Laughed here

Cried here

Screamed here

Loved here

Lost here

If you think I don't belong here I can't argue

I won't argue with that

I hate everyone here including me and our exploitativeness and our greed and our apathy

And I'm definitely on the list of people I hate

This is a fact

I'm not a hero

I will never be

And if you say I don't belong here I'll take that as a compliment though it's false

But anyways

I have nowhere else where I belong either

I really just don't

I literally don't

I don't mind

I don't care

There's nothing as freeing

As defining your belonging based on your actions and not your origin

And belonging based on shared experience not based on origin
