My Black Skin

take me as i am don't be afraid of my black skin i am wise i am smart i am sexy but the best thing is... i am free my skin is shaded black but my heart is the shade of platinum i can live as other people do i share your restroom... i eat at the same places as you... why cant you take me as i am GOD is my father.... so who raised you can you put on my shoes.... and walk with black feet... as i so proudly do you need to take me as i am and don't be afraid of my black skin Copyright ©2008 Myishia Sacoya Williams
