she hated you, she always hated that i was was black, she called me dirty and disgusting. should have seen the warning signs but i stayed and apologized for something that was out of my control. the next day she bought some bleach for me telling me to use it so i could be b e a u t i f u l.
i obediently said yes and grabbed it and ever since then i have been using it, even when she left me, i continued, now my skin is filled with different splotches of yellow, when it got to this point i hated myself, i hated how i just took it,nwithout seeing how wrong it was, still continually using it, i wasn't white yet like you wanted so i started cutting . It started from small cuts on my thighs,nto my abdomen, then my arms, at one point i fell into a coma because of the loss of blood, next thing i knew i opened my eyes slowly and my skin was white extremely white

God I hoped you liked it. i hurried back up with the aid of my wheelchair and texted you to come see me, you came, and went up to my room, i stood there standing brightly, proudly, but then you said that you changed your mind and that you liked black people better and walked away like you didn't just take a piece of my life, i cried, i could feel the moons within me shattering, fell into another coma. and you never came to visit.

not even once.
