Skin

When you look at me
What do you see?
When you look at her
What do you see?
Do you see beauty ?
Do you see someone gorgeous or?
Am I meant to carry my beauty
and not just wear it?
Does my beauty not come through
or is my skin to dark to allow
it to radiate?
You see it clearly in her cause
her skin is light enough to radiate?
Should I not love my skin because
you find it... not a shade of beauty?
I live in my skin
I am not my skin
