#30in30 2018, Day 1: Set A Tone

Cafe au lait
Chocolate
Coffee bean
Cinnamon ting
Amaretto cream
Burnt sienna
Mocha brown
Golden crown
Yellow with the white bones
Black girl, I love your skin tone

You pop
Shine
Glow
Stick in the mind
Your melanin, precious metal
Protective yet easy on the eyes
Critiqued all the time
It’s just envy from those
Whose best they can do is a tan
Your haters are fans

Some say they love the light
But your dark skin is just right
I hope you always fight
Back your self-conscious confessions: 
Cause your complexion’s perfection
