3159, :: lite skin gurls cry too :: Posted by paperdollpoet, Sat Oct-04-03 04:44 AM
i usta dream about being dark skin the kinda dark that wld shine when i put vaseline on my knees i wanted to be 'black and beautiful' with 'dark and lovely' sweeter berry juice complexion cause lite skin little gyrls are only pretty in the eyes of boys and old folks who tell you to shape babies noses so it won't be so wide i was never really pretty i just had pretty eyes pretty hair pretty skin tone and "pretty gyrls like you shouldn't cry" but i did i cried for 2 weeks straight then off and on for 17 years and a couple of hours before and after when sum boy took my pretty with him when he left so he cld have braggin rights at corner dice games cause mixed gyrls were worth double points but who was keeping score when i had to fight black hands to prove i was black enough i usta wish i was dark skin so i cld walk peacefully at nite without fear of finding razor blades across my face cutting out the "that bitch think she's so fucking pretty" in me i get tired of being lite skin tired of running and smiling and proving and trying not to be "too pretty" while trying to be pretty enough and black enough and woman enough and when will it be enough
fuck beauty.
