Melanin

The problem is in our upbringing, We were told, "the only pretty is pale". It's the fault of our upbringing, We measure beauty in colour scale. Why does he even like her? She's ugly (she's dark). Tree's beauty is in it's flower, Not in the colour of it's bark. Now we teach "only fair is fair". We don't even know the cure. Well, you don't even care 'Cause you're "the superior". Tip of iecberg, the root lies deep. Nobody talks to me, "I'm a tad too brown". If he fails, "he's the black sheep". "Only white girls deserves the crown". The problem is in our upbringing, But we still can try and change. Diversity is the part of our upbringing, Forty shades in a foundation range.
