My skin has always been a topic of conversation
More than I'd like it to be.
More than I'd like it to, my skin has been an object of hatred
Eyes full of despise for the hue of it.
Eventually making me despise the color
Wishing that my skin could be lighter
Wishing that my skin could be darker
Just so that I could have one less problem on my hands
Because the problem on my hands have been multiplied
Leaving me stranded with no one to turn to
Stranded with no place to fit in
Two polar opposites playing tug of war with my identity
The two opposites coming together in a time of vulnerability
My skin has always been a topic of conversation
