Discrimination

Discrimination
is not just a word.

It is something
felt on the body,
carried in the mind.

Seen
in the way eyes look,
in the doors that do not open,
in the silence
that follows your name.

I know this.

Half Norwegian.
Half Greek.

Not enough of one,
too much of the 
other—for people
who needed everything
to fit into one box.

I changed my name
to be accepted.
To work.
To study.
To move forward.

A small change—
with a heavy cost.

People think
this is new.

It is not.

Narrow minds
existed then,
just as they do now—only quieter,
only hidden differently.

I have learned
that discrimination
does not define
who we are.

But it does leave 
marks—ones we carry,
ones we rise through.

And still—
I stand as all that I am.
