From Helga to Mother

Mother,
why did you have to fall in love with a lying hollow man, one that left
my skin to be slightly darker than desirable.  Why did you leave me alone in
a world where i will never belong, where i will never be claimed, one where
hatred is afflicted on individuals solely the color of ones' skin. Why couldn't you have fallen in love
with someone of your ranking, of your race, someone that didn't leave you broken. Mother did you  die of a broke heart? I wonder what caused you to go against your family, to willing lie with someone so different from yourself. We live in a world that has no sympathy for the weak; a world that hates difference. Mother, what courage did you posses? What posses you to think that love
transcends the thin line between races. What made you love a man that would never return your affections, a man that would leave us to survive on our own. Now you are gone, and i have to pay for your mistake: A family that will never accept me and would rather see me die than acknowledge that i share their blood. Mother, what selfishness possessed you to never think of the consequences of lying down with a hollow man, one that left my skin to be slightly darker than desirable.
