SKIN
One day you came to me
Your body like one big tear
You start shaking
Trembling like an earthquake
You start spitting out vulgar words
Someone made a statement about your skin
Seeing the tar spilling out of your mouth and pouring onto the floor
Surrounding us like a Black Sea that’s coming from within
I wish people didn’t give a damn about your complexion
But it’s sad to see that they do
You’re beautiful and I want you to know that
Because lately it seems that you don’t even know your own worth
During the day you blend in
But at night that’s when you truly shine
Bright as the stars your smile lights up my whole world
I love seeing you embrace your true color
The one that comes from the heart
And makes you radiate from afar
The world would be better if we were all color blind
We get in fights over race
Not realizing it doesn’t mean a thing
Your skin color means nothing to me
Just be who you are because that’s all i see
