I find myself crawling
Crawling from within
I wanna pull out of this skin
This skin that has hidden a lot
You dont wanna know whats been hidden
Hidden in this glowing melanin
I have worked to remove all the scars and stretch marks
Stretch marks that were developed from my need to mantain a certain standard
Deep within i just want to be me
Me who wants to be to understood
You cant be within my soul
Maybe you could understand
Understand what it means to be a black woman
Who is proud of her dark chocolate skin
But still stuggling to crawl out of it
Because it hides a lot within
And all she seeks is to be heard
Hear her inward cry
She cries to be freed
Free her from the agony within
Accept her as who she is
Just embrace her flaws
She is just but a super woman
Who needs a strong support system to mantain her soul and skin
