Don'T See Me

Can you actually see the color of my skin Black African American women voiced Im natural! Another race can judge my skin but not the brains that talks to oneself My lips was clear consist my one look but a black women futherd her magazine The high of my beauty was one until I saw one of me becoming a distance to switch my race Deciding a clear change was tempted but parts of me allowed no fear of being Black and bold The mirrors hated me as I talked fourth of no heart developing an ending of faith Moving myself from women that tried to lose my confidence of survival reflecting my root Strange women pretended a lighter skinned can convince lights, camera, action within an inner dollar bill I screamed until I saw all Brown skin women being apart of me fighting just Afro known Somebody was talked about but I resist a related Black sister that created once spoken too No one understands a Black voiced of it's own just worldwide!
