brown eyes

it's so hard to bring people up while not tearing others down... here's my attempt at it :)) i did my best... and to all you brown eyed girls - you are beautiful! i think that we have this societal mindset that brown eyes and brown skin and etc. are not as "good" as other colors, and it's definitely something that i've felt in my life. i hope that the girls that come after me don't wish to be blonde and blue-eyed the way i did for so much of my childhood, and i hope they embrace who they are and what they look like because they are perfect... love always, scarlett

********************************

why

aren't you

considered

beautiful?

hair isn't

light enough

eyes are

brown

why are the

sporty

blonde girls

pretty

but not me?

in some

places it's

golden skin

and

chocolate eyes

that are

lovelier than

sunsets

on smoky days

but here

brown is mundane

dull

a hopelessly

ugly

shell

and that should

change

midnight skin

is not ugly

it's perfect

brown hair

is just as

special

as blonde

and if you

don't love

brown eyes

then you haven't

stared into

a pair

of them

before

because while

blue and green

and grey and hazel

are all

cool and bright

brown eyes are

eyes filled with

soul

eyes that you

could

fall

in

love

with

here's my

petition

to turn

ocean eyes

into

chocolate ones

and

to every

brown eyed

brown haired

brown skinned

girl

there is

nothing

in the world

more beautiful

than

you
