colors

Shades of Brown

Our skin varies

Our Lives differ

These are things

We do not choose

Dark skin

Light brown eyes

A girl with black skin

Who chooses blue eyes

A boy with dark brown skin

And light brown eyes

A girl with light skin

And black frizzy hair

Embarrassed by her

Mixed heritage

Me with light skin

And freckles

yet 
Who is assuming

the ‘fittest’

For our society?

What the hell

Do ‘they’ know
about colors?
