Eventually dark skin girls start to heal
Eventually we peel
Off the white face
Smiling at the gift
Of melanin
Eventually we start to see our own beauty
Understanding there is no standard of
Beauty even though we are the original model
Eventually we stop believing the lies
They fed us and we start to eat organic truth
Turning off the fake news
Eventually dark skin girls go back to
Their roots digging deep for meaning
Finding truth in each coiled strand
Eventually we find ourselves ignoring
The outside chatter
Celebrating the inside silence
Eventually dark skin girls stop self
Sabotaging and start self loving
Eventually we shed insecurities
Reveling in the depths of our darkness
To find the light
Eventually we heal
We find our power
Walk in peace
With heads up
Crowns high
Eventually with eyes wide open we fly
