Please don’t report!!! It’s for school. I’m supposed to write a poem, is there anything I can add to make it better? My skin
To me my skin is of gold and amber
Shimmers in the sun ever so bright and glowing
Oh how I wish you saw my skin like I do
But you don’t see that
To you, my skin is a threat
To you, my skin is an opportunity to be mocked off
To you, my skin is a minstrel show
To you my skin means I don’t deserve to see another day
To you my skin is a reason to be racially profiled everyday and everywhere
To you, my skin gives you the right to shoot me
To you, my skin means I don’t deserve to live a normal life like you
To you, my skin means I don’t deserve the same rights as you
To you, my skin will never be accepted
I wish you saw the beauty of my skin rather than find it to be dangerous
But alas, that won’t happen
For my skin will never be seen as beautiful, it will always be a threat, a sign of danger to you.
