white skin, light skin
brown skin, dark
freckles, birth marks
all types of scars
cool tones and dark tones
maybe warm?
a blend of not one
not two, nor three
but maybe four or five
or even more,
passed down time
after time,
a blending immersion
mixed to make
a beautifully unique
creation, of how
we are perceived
how I am perceived
a girl with brown skin
no,
a goddess who soaks up
the golden sun
radiating it’s beauty
that makes skin so rich
divine dark chocolate
and skin so smooth
melting cocoa butter
and eyes like honey
even bees admire
yes,
that is who we are
what my mother was
what my daughter will be
and who I am
