What is the tone of the poem? Why? Cite to support your answer Indian Boy Love Song (#2)

I never spoke
the language
of the old woman

visiting my mother
in winters so cold
they could freeze
the tongue whole

I never held my head
to their thin chests
believing in the heart.

Indian women, forgive me.
I grew up distant
and always afraid.
