Fighting Vitiligo

A beautiful fawn was she
With doe eyes that looked away shyly

Had a love for wearing beautiful clothes
So that she could stand out in a crowded world

But fate took a negative turn
When on her skin white patches appeared

She hid from the world which she so loved
Became depressed and into a shell withdrew

I wish she would look up to Winnie Harlow
And prove the world that life can still go on
