Complexions

Don't let your complexion Bring you disgrace Don't be ashamed By the color of your face Don't get lost within your race Or feel as though You're second place No longer discouraged There's no more pain No longer insecure There's no more shame Know that your beautiful Feel it in you heart Don't let social standards Tear you apart I used to be afraid To be myself Dishonor and displeasure Was all i felt But i realized Beauty isn't just the color of your skin It's your compassion Your spirit The being within
