Colors of the World


I am filled with many colors of the world.  I could be many different religions or ethnicity.  I could be brought up in many different cultures, I can have many different shades of me not knowing where I fit in this world called society.

When I view myself I see something so beautiful, so heavenly.  I see the image that shine through my heart for everyone to see and that's all of me.

I have thick lips, a broad nose, a golden smile, a personality of rich dark skies.  I'm a strong person within such tough skin that keeps me strong through the dark clouds all day long.

I have such a style and grace a voice that would put a lion's heard to shame and cast it out of place.

I am the color of the world, I am me.  I will not change myself for anything, for my parents made me for who I am.  I may have more of my mother's genes. I am as brown and she is to me. I am handsome as she is beautiful, such a majestic person.  I see that's how I became within her name that's how I see myself as me.

The colors of the World.
