Double Consciousness


Double Consciousness for W.E.B. DuBois


Someone who is me is not who I am.

Keeps repeating himself

That he remembers my face

But can’t place

The name. Holds long discussions

When I’m not around

With people whom I don’t even like.

They talk bad about me later.

My reputation suffers

And I have to explain myself

To friends.

Someone who is me is not who I am.
