Brown, Black, Melanin.

So complex but yet so underrated

Much beauty that lies within

But yet so mistreated

My skin does not make me

Nor is it a shame

But it is apart of me

There are those who shun it but use my culture for fame

Something I used to despise because of the words of others

But this no more

For thou should not be judged because of their skin colors

For I am much more then thy evaluation that is so poor

If thou shalt judge me, then judge on thy abilities

Because the future is full of possibilities.
