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
