People Like Me

I was born of mixed parentage in the 1960's, my mum is white and born in England, my dad was from Trinidad he came to this country to help rebuild the motherland. Ignorant people would call them n**** lovers and other derogatory names, but that would not stop my mum from seeing my dad. My friends must have told Don that I fancied him, but he said he wasn't interested as I was a Paki. He shoved me on the bed, and I wondered what was going to happen next, he looked at me distastefully, and said your not leaving me; I'll kill you first.
