She Is Me

To my sisters

Can she grow?
Can she grow to love the freckles on her cheeks
Will she ever learn to praise her sun kissed skin
I pray she stops spraying those toxic tans on her perfect skin
If only she could see how beautiful her brown skin is
She feels insecure about her long blonde hair
The blonde girl is always "supposed" to be mean and bossy
If only they knew she was so shy
Fighting to tame her afro
Since it only makes her look more "barbaric"
Please tell her that her dreadlocks and her afro are only a crown she should wear high and proud
Why does my sister have to suffer this much only because she wants to be "normal"
After every meal she has to vomit
Just because she feels she is not "skinny" enough
She forces herself to eat because she needs to gain those so called "black girl curves" but why dear sister
My sisters are hurting
Never feeling beautiful in their different skins
She tries so hard to be like her
Not knowing that "her" also wants to be like "she"
I pray my sisters learn to love themselves
I hope she learns that her freckles are only stars on her cheeks
That the skin they call "pale" is only as beautiful as the lilies
And dear sister remember you can break all those stereotypes
Dear sister you do not need to be skinny to be beautiful,forget the long legs and flat tummy
As much as you can find the beauty in her try as hard to see the already visible beauty in yourself
I pray that my sister knows that her complexion carries the riches of her roots, that her "barbaric" hair is her God given crown that makes her the goddess she is
Can my sister know that her body should not be a reason for her eating disorder or be used to say whether she is "women enough"
My sisters I plead with you to love yourself
Love yourself because you need it and you are worth all the love inside you.
