Those bullies are wrong, they've lied to you Your skin is silky and smooth It is dark as night Where stars shine bright Your skin is what makes you...you!
Its deep cocoa hue its glow
You ARE beautiful You should know
People may bully you and tear you down But they can never take away What stands as truth
You are beautiful Every part of you
The words are basic, but that have much meaning for me. As a kid I was always complimented on my skin by adults, but I grew up being made fun of for my skin color all the time by my peers, and know young teens who are constantly bullied for it. We all have beauty...and learning to love it makes life so much better!
