Dear Melanin,

From the moment I was born

I always Knew I shined as bright as a star.

My hair sandy brown, golden as a crown

While my skin toffee, just as dark as coffee.

As my skin meets the sun, I remember how perfect of a hue you are.

My melanin is a flex, As it glows as I rest

My melanin is poppin’ along with my big hair floppin’

My eyes are glowing as I stare

To all my melanin girls out there,

I hope you can see the beauty is

Your skin.
