Dear Dark skin girl
Dear Dark skin girl,
It is not you that they hate for it is the
glow of your melanated skin that beams like a
Billion stars.
The braids and the mysterious
scars that left behind the beauty of an empress
Dear dark skin girl must they hate you because
of your dark brown skin
Must your own people degrade and
hate you because you are dark
The jokes you hear and the hate you receive is not good
Enough for a dark skin queen with skin the color of midnight stars
Others might not think you are beautiful
but I do
Dear Dark skin girl
Are you in pain?
Do you feel underappreciated?
You wear red lipstick and bright colored hair
You get told that does not match
You skin tone
Dear Dark skin Girl, You have moved mountains
Fought off enemies
Broke generational cures and
Changed history
There is nothing like a Darkskin girl
You are the magician with the unrevealed
Secrets
Your magic is your undeniable beauty that will
Last for generations
Sincerely, A Dark skin girl
