Growing up I would always be the "ugly and dark" friend.

Most of my friends were the "pretty and light skin" friends that would always get the niggas.

Whenever my friends and I would go someplace they would be the first ones to get hit on. I would feel like the ghost that nobodies see. 

I've never accused my friends because it's not their fault. 

It's not their fault that we live in a world where the darker the skin the uglier you are.

Of course, my parents and friends would say that I'm pretty but I want a man to look in my eyes and call me gorgeous. 

I want to be love. 

And I never felt that until I met Marcel.All Rights Reserved
