Beauty is it

There are tons of white standards of beauty...light skin, blue eyes, long hair, thin. I don't fit those standards. But when I look at myself in the mirror...I kiss God. I have beautiful skin, eyes, my hair is all over my head, lips. So I wrote this poem to celebrate my BROWN SKIN. And everyone else with it...like my skin is beautiful.

my brown skin

brings

LIFE

Uninhibited and Free

Bounding in mercy full of eternity

My brown skin is of this earth

Beautiful / Full

Pure chocolate with walnuts (chestnuts)

those cookies (my eyes)  and my lips

My skin

brown

Saves you

Before you forgot and was lost

But my skin

this brown

love

Sugar

saved death from your eyes

My skin

Brown skin

Beauty is it
