Ebony Skin
Hide your true self, lighter is better
bound your beauty in brown shadows of regret.
Fear your power
Fear your dominance.
As the world, throws their lies.
Blurred is their vision.
Would you allow wheat among the fields
to shade you, or
Darken clouds, comfort you
embrace what is yours, embrace your
skin.
