“I bet that look better red†is what I heard them say.
That’s the type of that was always said when they passed my way.
“She sexy for a dark-skinned girl; if she was lighter she would be ‘Bae.’â€
And what’s sad is they dumb asses thought these “compliments†were okay.
I had self-esteem issues ‘cause they told me I was too dark.
My confidence became lower with every foolishremark.
I tried to wear lighter make-up to make up for my heart,
But that only made it worse for me so I decided to have a new start.
I reclaimed my Blackness...
See the fact is...
I’m ME.
I’m filled with the richest chocolate, black and flawless as can be.
My deep, dark, chocolate skin is a perfect beautiful hue.
If you think there’s something wrong with my dark skin, the only problem here is you.
I’m Black Boldness.
