Dear dark skinned girl, Your thoughts are still locked on the FACT that you are not good enough. You have become a member of team dark skin, which nobody seems to love. Light skin is the right skin has now been tattooed on your heart, the way you think, even engraved on your arms. It seems that that is even what the pastor seems to preach, which results with you loathing in self pity. Michelle .K. Faustin

Loving her, so much, she literally made me go crazy. Every second, minute, hour, of the day, every day, I crave her touch, scent, her voice, every time I'm away from her. My fingers itch just to touch her, make love to her... I will kill anyone who comes near her, put their hands on her, or hurt her. She is mine, and only mine. Sometimes I know she will try to ignore me, she says I can be a bother, but I cant help I want to be with her. I know that she likes me. Her touch and kiss make it obvious. She would always look at me with no hesitation, and tell me, "Baby, it's yours". And I tell her, "You need to own that shit" I know she only tells me things that I want to hear. And I'm oblivious to what I need to hear. I love her, but she only likes me. And knowing that she doesn't love you back, makes it worse... -Chresanto August
