Good Day Viks! Take a look at Elle's poem titled BROWN SKIN GIRL:
Take me way back
Take me back into the sea
Feel my blood coursing through the trees
Feel my heartbeat
A thousand miles free
Wear my color
Wear my color, wear it like Rosalía
Taste the flavor
So historic
Built on oppression for decades
Take me way back to my homeland
Where I can be me
Never felt more alone
More than you’ll ever know
Looking in the mirror, I am a brown skinned girl
I’ve never been hated so much before
Just because I am a brown skinned girl
I am who I am
And I’ll never change myself for the world
I just hope that one day
I can be a person, just a brown skin girl
Black hair, brown eyes
I’d never trade it for comfort
I am a brown skin girl
I wear my body with pride
~like a Brown Skin Girl
