Dark like chocolate
My skin is RICH
Like coco from a tree
Look at me! Like the outside of a coconut or the icing of a cake
My mommie says I'm tasty
Not to watery not to pastey
In the winter I'm mocha like
An espresso
In summer I'm dark like a
Black coffee with no cream
An African dream
Made from love of the ebony
My eyes as big as almonds
My nose as wide as a brownie
My lips are as plump as two ripe strawberries
But soft like tomatoes
My outside to you may seem thin
But it's all about whats within
Because I AM NOT MY SKIN!
DADDY told me I'm his big win,
My name is Khadija Lowe and
I LOVE MYSELF
AND AND I LOVE MY SKIN!
