This Beautiful Skin Im In Poem by shekirah crump

My skin
My brown lovely skin make the word beauty beautiful.
They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
But everyone always looks at whats on the outside and not whats within.
Hey im not thin. But thick is whats in.
But let me tell u bout this skin that im in.
Im a person with a soul mind and a goal. But who told you to try to control
ME
Cant you see. im my own person. LET ME BE ME.
This skin that im in.
This skin that has been broken, torn and damaged by loved ones and whos who claimed they loved me.
The skin that im in my brown lovely skin goes from brown to blue to thick to thin
from the bruses and cuts and just watching him go nuts
because i didnt let him have his way.
HUH.! For it to be broken in by a person that said they loved me and would leave after they was done
'getting it in' Not this skin that im in.
For this skin is the cover of my mind heart and soul has kept me.
It gets stronger as it goes through more deeper and intense war.
With the battles of hurt, anger and decifulness, just makes me wanna cut this skin that im in.
But hey who told you to judge me.
LET ME BE ME.
But hey im not thin. But thick is whats in.
This skin that im in my brown lovely skin it takes the word beauty and makes it BEAUTIFUL.
