Homage to my Skin


Homage to my Skin

Who defines me so effortlessly

Without the help of any man

 

Skin who glistens in the Sun

And Shines under the Moon

 

The power of such beauty 

Cannot be meausred by any man

This beauty is Supreme

And calls for attention

 

Effortlessly, I shine 

Even with skin that's far from perfect

It's brown and tan

It's blotchy and pale

 

But it will never need your filter
