We see a lot of trouble, don’t we
We get stereotyped, don’t we
We are treated differently
But black skin, don’t let them confuse you
There is nothing wrong with you, my dear black skin
You are beautiful

Will I ever find love?
I don’t even want to be in a relationship
I just want to find someone I like, that is a Christian

I don’t want to be a catfish

and were charmed by my character
but I’m also worried that if you saw me up close
you might notice all the insecurities that I see in me too…
