Hey Black Skin,

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

Being me

you don’t have to be me, to read me

you don’t have to understand me, to read me

you don’t have to look like me to read me

all I want is for you to read me knowing these things

you may read me because of these things and that’s fine

you may read me as a result of these things and that’s fine

you may not want to read me because of these things and that’s fine too

but you do have to know these things before you read me

They are all labels that define me
