Black coal

Black scar

Black scale

Black and lovely melanin

You are as tough as a coal

Like a scar you have marked me a spot

among the cloud

Your hardness has taught me hardship and

endurance under the scorching fire of the yellow glow

Black and lovely melanin

You made me weak

You make me strong

You made me sad

You make me happy

You are a great gift from the world's

blacksmith

Of the colors in the world you are

greatness

Black and lovely melanin

From you the black smith of the world

refined and nurtured me into a lustrous gem

I will love and cherish you forever.
