That's Not All I Am!


Indian?
Too much for some…
Not enough for others…
Defying the parameters of definition
Marvelous mixed-up blood
Indian? Yes!
But that’s not all I am

Activist?
Not to some…
I don’t march…
Under their banner
Activist? Yes!
But that’s not all I am

Wife?
That depends…
on who you ask…
Or where we are…
Wife? Yes!
But that’s not all I am

Lesbian?
Not butch…
Not femme…
Criss-cross categories
Late bloomer
Lesbian? Yes!
But that’s not all I am

That’s   not   all   I   am  !
