My dark skin doesn’t make me inadequate
I have thick, curly hair
No... You can’t touch it
And I really wish you wouldn’t stare
I can’t fit size 2 jeans
I can’t wear skirts that are so short
That you can almost see underneath
My eyes aren’t green or blue
That doesn’t mean that I can’t clearly see you
My legs aren’t model long
My ***** aren’t super small
My lips aren’t paper thin
My **** is not pancake flat
I don’t pay attention to how many carbs I eat
But that doesn’t mean I'm fat
It would be nice if you could refer to me as a person, an actual human being
Stop saying *** Look at that!”
My skin isn’t perfect
My face isn’t pimple free
Stop looking at my skin
Try getting to know the girl within
