Dark girl,
be proud of your physique and skin.
You'd think the boys only want you
because of your appearance.
They don't want to know what's within.
You say that you want a man
She touches me and pulls away
as if my skin is rotting flesh,
littered with whirring,
ravenous flies.
My skin, dark as the shroud
that invades my bedroom every night
