Darkness

I am Darkness

 

A private Pinterest board full of recipes for lightening skin

 

Maybe then I will be beautiful

 

Maybe then they won't feel bad

 

Maybe then they won't be scared

 

When your own kin doesn't love there own

 

"You're very beautiful....you probably never gotten that before"

 

"You've gotten lighter" as if it was a compliment

 

Picking the white Barbie doll over the black Barbie doll 

 

how dare you shame me

 

I did not evolve from you

 

You lost what I had to become who you are

 

I am the epitome of beauty

 

I am the MOTHER of all humanity

 

I am not the absence of light

 

I am who allows light to exist

 

I am Darkness
