Just because my skin is darker my life isn’t for the better?
Who once said your skin was virtue, and mine was no better?
My life is full of black and white.
My world is nothing but grey.
I am judged not for my attitude towards others,
But for my skin tone till this day.
No one cares for appearances,
They will openly hate.
So why are we all here,
When I can see nothing but grey.
