My skin is as dark as
a chocolate bar.
And sparkles just like a shooting
star.
Melanin is beautiful,
no matter
what shade.
One day, our beauty standards
will change.
Colorism
eats away at our minds,
and causes our tongues
to be unkind.
People need to understand,
colorism has high
Demands.
It shouts and screams,
while light skin people
Dream. Dark skin
people are tired of pain.
It’s time for the world to change
its ways.
