Loving The Skin Im In

Brown is the color of the world I live in

Brown hair brown eyes brown skin

Brown ties brown sight brown kids

Brown is the hue that represents calmness and earth

Brown places my value it sets my worth

The color of my eyes the color of my skin

Brown is my life and all it represents

My hue defines me when people want to silence me

It speaks louder than words and its yelling tirelessly

See

My brown is my armor my protection in the night

Its the warning that lets you know I don’t go down without a fight

My brown is my roots and a part of my history

It tells the tales of my royalty and my victories

My brown is my beautiful untold symphony

Its in my story untold when they forget to mention me

My brown shows in my thick hips and kinky locs

In my strong tone and in the clothes that I rock

Its in the anxiety that always follows me

Because instead of accept, society wants to swallow me
