Child of Black Skin

Child of black skin You're crushing on the silent wind With words beneath your smile Emollients that softens your lips Colourful, as summer's day Eyes so slick beneath that ink The soot that thickens and darkens your lashes The vision beautified through your enhanced lashes Carbon black that defies your fair skin The roots that run deep The dark melanin skin That genes keep Child of black skin You're blushing at a restless road And winds that kisses your skin Its current caresses your hair Embrace the glitter that sparkles When you flick the hair off your shoulder Nobody is perfect But pretense looks good on you The cap you wear boosts your confidence Synthetic You're conditioned to believe that Embrace the knots and curls on your scalp Child of black skin You are walking into reality Your ample figure A perfection that could inspire a sculptor Sensually appealing A leashed morality Words sharper than scalpel They don't define you You define your self With your ample figure yourself and embrace it Copyright 2018 Itux
