I am Dark
I am a bit darker from the rest
But I believe I am the best,
No one likes my skin color
Just because it's a bit duller,
People ask me to apply whitening creams
I am not fit in this world it seems,
Just to let me down people say I am Black
They say I am cack*,
People love to alter your looks
You can get altered for getting in their good books,
My color is given by my Dad
So why shall I be sad,
People don’t accept me the way I am
I think this whole beauty thing is sham,
They won’t understand the meaning of Pretty
Because they focus on things which are Petty,
Even the night is dark
And don’t expect me to get fair as quark,
I don’t care if I were as black as coal
As I have accepted myself from my heart and soul
*Rubbish

Many People have discriminated me on the basis of my color as I am dusky and not fair many people have always hated my skin color and advised me to put beauty products and in India many People are biased toward fair skin and even for marriage the fair girls are married easily but the dark girls are not able to get married as they are not able to find a suitor for them
