Internal Battle!

Rainbow of hues permeate a spectrum of black Skin tones from rich, dark chocolate, to caramel and back Beauty encased in a myriad of tones All equally and exceptionally outstanding and rare Beauty was to be in the eye of the beholder But someone offered us a tapestry to view An opportunity of greatness is lost on us all Instead our pettiness and smallness shows through Watching from within, and seeing without Seeking insight, to our never ending plight Of self inflicting conflict, and our battles we fought These flesh tones paint a picture of our internal fight.
