My Skin My Fear

                       New Dreams

                   Scared of my skin 

               Scared of what’s within 

                 Changing my looks

               Downgrading my worth 

                Looks in Mirrors hurt

                   Tears tell stories 

               Long and dearly sorrow 

                   God sought out 

               Light was I to follow 

           Little ole me scared to see

               Blackness is no fear 

          Greatness within every soul 

        Change my looks no longer 

              Blackness my strength 

              Blackness my superior 

              Blackness my face 

         Blackness not just a race

         Blackness does not fear

                 And neither do I
