I hated I hated me No, i loved to hate me I hated black I hated black clothes , made me feel hot , never embraced the heat it gave me I hated the night, a cold harsh wind seeping into my skin I hated the sun, I was afraid of it I hated that they made me hate me I let it consume me Things are different now, though My thoughts are stronger My vision is clearer My body feels lighter My smile is brighter I love my skin better than ever The sky hugs my melanin, i feel vibrant free, i feel one with it different shades of black, so many to choose so rich, tasteful, so strong cocoa butter kisses so sweet with every touch Iām in love with my skin and so is the sun
