My skin is Deep

Skin Deep

By J’Adyn Moffett

My skin is deep

What do you see when you look at me?

My smooth skin complexion

The perfect shape of my lips

My wide nose

My bright eyes

My high cheek bones

Maybe it’s my black, thick, curly crown.

My skin is deep

I need a little Vitamin D

When the sun kisses my skin it glows

My melanin is poppin

It comes in various flavors; BROWN SUGAR BABY,

BUTTER PECAN TAN, CARAMEL TWIST, AND DARK CHOCOLATE.

My flavor of choice is BROWN SKIN GIRL.

My skin is deep

My melanin is beyond beautiful, it’s BLACKnificent

I’m a BROWN SKIN GIRL with grace, pride, and confidence

Sprinkling #BlackGirlMagic through every entrance.

My skin is deep

My melanin is a representation of strength and power

My skin is so deep

I love the things most people disrespect

I’m a pretty BROWN GIRL born for a purpose, with a purpose, from a purpose

The blood that runs through my veins takes me back to the Motherland.

My skin is rich with history.

It tells a story, it tells your story too.

My skin is deep

I love the skin I’m in

Please don’t be afraid of me or my skin, instead be inspired

I’m here to shine, sparkle, pop, and be on fire

I’m resilient, fearless, powerful, brilliant, and unstoppable

My skin is deep

What do you see when you look at me?

A BROWN SKIN girl

Born into royalty

My skin runs deep.
