Dear beautiful dark skinned girl
Please hold onto your faith
I know that things are hard
But your shade is not a disgrace
Notice how you walk into the room
Eyes immediately gravitate towards you
“Who’s that beautiful dark skinned girl?”
Do you realize they’re talking about you?
All the hurtful words you’ve endured in the past
Don’t let them dim your light
For you are the starry dark sky complementing the moon
And you are shining bright
