your blood is who you are

i am a leech

clearly soulless in nature

i methodically subsume

any trait i deem human

                                  

i hastily integrate

them into my identity

to appear included

to be seen

                                    

and i would drown myself

in their righteous essences

so that i would, not appear

as the parasite i am

                                  

i used to be bilingual

surrounded by culture

i forgot my first language

isnt that a bummer
