SKIN
She likes her skin’s light brown
tone,
which darkens at the strength of the
sun’s rays
deepening to a rich and
darker brown along with a glossy look.
She feels wonderful in constant
sunshine
merged with a glorious ocean breeze.
She likes all kinds of skin tones from
darker to lighter hues.
Some don’t really see her; the kind
of person she is.
They may have good eyesight and eyes
that are blue, green or even brown
but really they do not ‘see’
her.
Is it really all about her skin that
she is living in?
A skin which she thought would keep her
protected,
rather than exposed.
(28th poem for NaPoWriMo)
