brwn skin girl - spoken word

brown skin girl,
refined and divine
and until the day is done
don’t compare your skin to no one 

they might spit and snarl 
but the light of the sun will always reign on you 
they see it too 

brown skin girl 
don’t cry 
your melenated skin
the curves of your hips 
to the brightness of your smile 
don’t let them dull your shine 
you are one in a million 
a comet amongst the stars 

brown skin girls 
all across the globe 
don’t feel discredited because you’re told to 
your kinks your coils your curls 
don’t settle for less 
when you deserve the world 

brown skin girls 
let’s stand together 
regardless of the weather
whether 
they hate or love us 
we will always have each other 
celebrate every day like no other 

brown skin girls 
whatever dream you might have 
push each other up 
be proud 
show them the strength we’ve had to gain 
don’t let them rain down on us again 

brown skin girl 
just like pearls 
beautiful to love 
never forget that you’re more than enough.
