My Skin

Fri, 12/12/2014 - 20:42 -- JSeni

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
