Hi Brown Skin

I’m sorry, Brown Skin, I'm sorry that you have to go through the pain of your ancestors,
through the pain of your brothers & sisters killed, judged, everyday,
I’m truly sorry you had to go through the lies of your erased history,
diggin' through your roots not knowing what is true or false not knowing what they burned,
hidden and colonized from
you Brown Skin.

There were times that I didn’t appreciate your beauty,
times where I wished I could’ve changed your tone to a brighter one
thinking of you as ugly or not worthy of my physical form - not anymore,
no more of this brain-washed thoughts, this European-beauty standard.

You're beautiful Brown Skin, shinier than Gold, softer than Cotton, and definitely
warmer than those pale skin people.

I’m the one not worthy of your beautiful skin tone, but I promise to never disappoint
you again. I appreciate you Spiritually, Physically and Mentally Brown Skin.
