My Skin
Brown skin aint beautiful to a world that sees only white
My braided hair looks like dreadlocks to those with long silky blonde hair
Bright red lipsticks make my lips look huge
You cant see me during nighttime selfies
I need perfect lighting to make my skin look lighter
I dont need approval to know that I'm pretty
The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
Brown skin is beautiful to a world that doesnt see color
