I've been used
Abused
And Confused
Used by men,
Told I wasn't pretty or good enough for a relationship,
But just sex.
Abused by many,
Mentally and emotionally,
Told that I would never amount to anything,
Because I was dark skin.
Praying that I'd wake up light skin.
Asking God why did he have to make me look like this.
Asking why couldn't I have been shorter, lighter, or wake up with a different face.
Confused by society,
Told that I wasn't skinny enough,
Or thick enough?
Pretty but not pretty enough?
Worthless unless you're white?
Curly or relaxed?
Too black if your hair is curly,
Trying to be white if it's relaxed??
When will this cycle end?
Or will this cycle end me?
