POETRY: BROWN SKIN GIRL

I’m not your rainbow
Check on ROYGBIV
They’re miles behind my skin
Coz melanin pops better with me
I’ll nourish your eyes with my skin layer
I’m the so-called brown skin girl.
I’m not your sunshine
You may orbit around the planets
Your light skin is not hotter than mine
Coz I made hotness and coldness
'Come to me, I’ll give you strength'
Coz I’m the brown skin girl.
I'm not your bitumen
The one silhouette is proud of
Your dark is just a bit closer
Coz chocolate is the race record holder
'Let me tone your life around'
Coz I’m the so-called brown skin girl.
