I am Dark: Poem I am a bit darker than the rest But I believe I am the best, No one likes my skin colour Just because it’s a bit duller, People ask me to apply whitening creams I am not fit in this world it seems, Just to let me down people say I am Black They say I am cack, People love to alter your looks You can get altered for getting in their good books, My colour is given by my Dad So why shall I be sad, People don’t accept me the way I am I think this whole beauty thing is a sham, They won’t understand the meaning of Pretty Because they focus on things which are Petty, Even the night is dark And don’t expect me to get fair as quark, I don’t care if I were as black as coal As I have accepted myself from my heart and soul -Tanvi Jeph Reply
I am Dark: Poem
I am a bit darker than the rest
But I believe I am the best,
No one likes my skin colour
Just because it’s a bit duller,
People ask me to apply whitening creams
I am not fit in this world it seems,
Just to let me down people say I am Black
They say I am cack,
People love to alter your looks
You can get altered for getting in their good books,
My colour is given by my Dad
So why shall I be sad,
People don’t accept me the way I am
I think this whole beauty thing is a sham,
They won’t understand the meaning of Pretty
Because they focus on things which are Petty,
Even the night is dark
And don’t expect me to get fair as quark,
I don’t care if I were as black as coal
As I have accepted myself from my heart and soul
