Feels as if the color of my skin will always determine the response I get from People.
The color of my skin feels like a crime on its own,
my skin color is such a burden feels like chains around my hands.
Everything I do is blatantly blamed on the color of my skin.
The color of my skin caramel and not white.
When I called the other day she said “black child i understand”.
What I had failed to apprehend was the definition of understand.
But looking at my arm i realized that the work of the African sun
all these years has caused a heavier burden
because now my skin color determines my future……………
