melanin in my skin
white folks look at me as if I am a sin
I'm black and I'm proud
nothing that you could change about
accept that I'm beautiful
I am a queen
that's all I in a mirror can see
I love my curls, I love my coils
I love my texture
I live for the curves on my bod
I cannot be flat and monotonous
I was marinated, seasoned, and cleaned
I'm something different
Not to compare with your flavourless chicken, nah
I'M BLACK AND I'M PROUD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Even though the poem speaks for itself. I wanted to clarify that all of my race/color related poems are not to shade anybody. It's just how people in this situation feel.

Raw words, real feelings
PoetryThings that many of us feel and don't manage to put in words. Mostly short poems and my very own quotes. Also some poems of which you'll only understand the true message if you have some Bible knowledge. All poetry is worth reading ! Enjoy!!
