Brown Skin
My brown skin.
Some would say it defines me,
But do not know what is within.
My melenated skin.
I believe that is not fair,
But what do others care ?
It is sad to say it is that way,
But all I can do is accept that fate.
The brown skin I am in
Inspires me to excel,
For many would not predict my wins.
The melanated skin I wear,
Is said not to tear.
Invisbly it does, because of what it was.
My brown skin.
It does not define me
Or show what is within.
I have made it clear,
my inspiration is my brown skin, did you adhere ?
