Light, bright, damn near white,
high yella heifer, dirty redbone,
honey-toasted, pecan-colored,
cat eyes, ugly eyes, what color is yo' eyes?
green eyes, grey eyes, hazel eyesshe think she cute, you ain't that fine,
skin like a yellow tulip, thin two lips,
hair pulled, pushed down on the playground,
soft hair, can't get an afro, silky like grandmoms,
freckles, freckles? freckles, huh freckles,
soft smile, teeth straight, polished pearls,
'you are so beautiful, not like the rest,'
fierce proud, strong, no traitor, flee from me satan,
rainbow brite on the outside,
no one blacker than you on the inside, no one
(For all my light-skinned sisters who suffered because of ignorance and envy, who are the blackest of black women and should be told that. We come in every color of the rainbow.)
