Beauty's Deeper Than Lust.

They say beauty is way deeper than lust, but society makes it seems as if physical attraction is a must, Is it my fault that my fat doesn't excite you, or is the fact that my dark skin doesn't turn bright enough to ignite you?? What is it?? You tell me because I've ran out of things to say, You tear me down because I am not mixed of a different race, Pieces and Pieces of my heart use to tear day by day, because  I wanted the attention,  the beauty,  and praise That my old friend Shakaunah  received everyday.  I used to want love from society and tried to change my ways, but maturity hit, and now I'm seeing brighter days. ~Shai
