I'm dark skinned, so what?
You can see the melanin dripping from my skin
And you expect me to do what exactly?
I was born that way,why should I change it?
because you don't like it, come off it dear human.
Though we have many betrayals
who goes to cosmetic shops to buy what will sell off their skin
How displeasing is the sight of their skin,
the epidermis screaming at their destruction but they pay no heed
their veins are now so visible
Like the skin is a transparent glass that showcases the viens
they are not in need of a show room that will display their nakedness
There are also pretenders who claims to like to do a "little lightening "it is called,oh please don't fine tune it
You don't love what you have you are envious of what others have.
So you go to the extent of using terrible smelling products and sulphur on your skin.
How ashamed I am of you.
You don't want to take care of what you have, you think you can take care of another?
You are too dark they say, AND WHAT?
not them looking back when the "dark skinned"passing beside them under the sun and it's glistening
the sun kisses the melanin properly and it is popping
they can't help but stare
marveling within them how two different things intertwine so beautifully.
We complain about racism but we are colorist
amongst ourselves we give the too dark ones a demeaning look and you are pointing at the racist
Drop that finger you colorist, you are not different from racists
You hypocrite, you utter vile words because you see a skin-tone that is differently beautiful
I'm dark skinned, so what ?
I know that, and I love it
I will always flaunt it
it's my gold, precious it is and won't trade it
I'm comfortable with being dark
I don't care what you think or feel about it
you'd choke on the thought of hating it
So when next you are being color shamed
confidently flaunt it to their faces and if they can't bear it their problem
let them know you don't feel inferior about having so much melanin and you'd let them have a little in their next life.
