What Colour is Beauty ?
Beauty is a kaleidoscope, yet black is the ostracized shade.
My skin is like a stretched canvas,
Exploding with hues and tones of blackness
Swirled into one beautiful...
Me.
Why does the vibrancy of my essence have to be
Tamed into bite - sized bits to be swallowed up by society.
Is the flavour of my skin too rich and sweet for you to bear?
Well, if you cannot handle the bitter sweetness
That makes me a dark berry, then
Stay bland in your conception of blank beauty.
I am not one shade too dark for beauty.
Black is beautiful.
I am beautiful.
