Had I known then, What my body would endure, Things would've been Different. More gentleness. Less impatience. Greater admiration. Less moments of internalized Abuse. "She" didn't know any better. All "she" knew what her mother told her. "If you're ugly, you're calling me ugly, too?" What a mind twist. This skin. This deep brown Melanin Was attacked. By serrated jokes. Dimmed by Lighter eyes, Untouched for it seemed Dirty. This deep brown Melanin Has been ostracized Marginalized Hyper sexualized My deep brown Melanin Has been touched by, Unconsenting hands, Neglected Punched Pushed. My deep brown Melanine Has been healed by Radical brujas Placed under spells. My deep brown Melanin It's beautiful. It's succulent. It's a kiss from my Great great Native American grandmother Who had three shades On her body. Like an aged Amber. My deep brown Melanin Is to be celebrated, Adorned, Worshiped. Like my once enslaved Great grandfather Whose skin mimics The night sky With stars sprinkled, In the lines on his face. I celebrate my skin Like I celebrate my ancestors. They are my skin. I am my ancestors. Deep. Brown. Melanin. #bodychallenge #icelebrateme #darkskinmen #transisbeautiful #instagay #mynarrative #myancestorswildestdreams #theythem #queer #nonciswords #sexwithyourmind
