#skincolor poems on Hello Poetry

nicaila Nov 2021

She had seen a glowing screen that emitted queens
Whose skin haven't touched the sun's cheeks
But had bathed in the moon lit's creeks
It glowed and beamed like a seam with a sheen
So she loathed and loathed; hated how bronze she is
She sought remedies; burying her color in sleeves

Hear her, o deities; she's down on her knees
She had thrown about a millenium worth of pennies
Hear her, o deities; whisper secrets into her ears
Cast away her insecurities crystallizing into fears
Tell her, she need not strip her cinnamon hue
To trade for a porcelained debut
Tell her, she wore rust colored armor
Stronger and more radiant than Helios's summer
Tell her, a crown awaits in a far away throne
She can also be queen even in her earthly tones
Tell her, to embrace what she hates
For her honey dripped shade need not to be ashamed

My morena queen, snatching everybody's glance
Like a finely baked bread seen in a window in France
With hairlocks in the rhythm of romance
Like a finely chopped chocolate
Oozing with a bouquet of sweetness and a hint of fate
Oh how she wore beauty like a swan waltzing in a lake

Race for What?

there's one kind of race
the human race...
but we divided the human race by color
its a race of color
black, brown and asian vs. white
its a race of ***
man vs. women
its a race of
LGBTQA+ vs. straight
what's the point of this race
if we know who would live with no guilts

Rest In Peace George Floyd you clearly don't deserve to die

voices.

i get that voicing your opinions and making sure that they're heard is huge thing that has to happen. but it's mostly for today's generation because whenever we try to speak we get talked over. we get backlash. we get " no they're older, wiser. they're right, just let it be. "

but it doesn't matter if you're older. it matters if you're respectful. it matters if you have enough patience to listen to what others have to say before voicing your own thoughts, because they can bring up some good points that make you wrong.

it doesn't matter if you've been on this earth longer or not. it matters if you have enough knowledge to let yourself be wrong.

we are all equal and all have a voice. no matter the age, skin color, heritage, or sexuality.

let us be able to use them.

this is just something that went to being about idiots to this. how, i don't know but it did. have a nice day today, loves :)

Skin deep

There was a time and place where skin color did not matter
Race is only skin deep
It is not a feeling or something that matters
Not black enough
Not white enough
Asking god why no silky straight hair
Asking god why no short ***** curly hair
I am not my hair nor skin color
I am a child that has grown up into a world with labels
Constantly changing who I am by definition
Generations on top of generations are loving each other
Regardless of race
When it is finally time for us
To see the world end and destroy
Love will be love
No matter what race
The word mix wont be in play
Rather just recognized as people

Oh, the Beliefs of Others...

my skin color does not show who i am

i'm white and i do not have a nice den

i'm white and i don't have a good weekly income

in fact, my skin color leads me to be shunned

the idea that i live a good life

is really false, don't believe the hype!

I'm white and i'm not that privileged

and believing this doesn't much help my image

i just want to expose raw fact

that being white isn't a walk in the park, it comes with a lot of problems that are laid out flat.

i've seen so many posts online about 'white privilege' and all that junk and while some posts about it are sadly true, there's a lot of false points being brought up such as saying that 'reverse racism' is not true and that white people have an easier time getting benefits.

these are not true and it really upsets me that some believe they are.
