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

fuck beauty... indeed.
