My Skin

                        My Skin

    Look at my skin, What do you see? Am I light enough to fit in the public eyes of society. Am I too dark enough?  Being deteriorated of my big hips, thicker lips. Look at my hair you see how straight it is, how long and beautiful my strands are. I must be mixed with something because being fully black you can’t have pretty hair no,no,no your hair is supposed to be nappy, wild, coily, but since I’m considered light skinned, i will always be put on a higher pedestal,every white man in America loves a black woman that looks just like me ? But what about dark skin women? NO they’re ugly, they’re ghetto, ratchet, baby mamas and their hair oh my gosh its so tangled and their lips are just to big, and the skin it's just too black I mean what black man in America could love a dark skin woman. I men don’t get me wrong, they love black women but only if there skin is light oh yea voluptuous curly hair.

-That quote I just spoke of, was from white women who pay millions of dollars for their lips. Hips, asses, and smiles, and darken their skin to be a reflection of not just dark skin women, black women period no matter what complexion.

Dark skin women everyday are brainwashed to look a certain way in beauty’s society, Teaching them to love thyself but then hate thyself. Since I’m dark and wanna be light maybe I should bleach my skin. Maybe if i bathe my skin in bleach i could look like you ? Or you ? But if I’m light-skinned then I’m confused. I’m half black, half white but what race should I be, should I live in a big house with lots of money, or grow up in the ghetto struggling for my life trying to make it out the hood.
