I wonder if my color is still an issue,
As it is for me,
I am shameful even to admit it,
The way I think,
Is stained by their ugly thoughts,
Is it still a big issue?
Or just pretending it is not,
I still see it in their eyes,
What they can’t say,
Or is it just my mind,
Hypnotised by their thoughts,
I wonder if my hair is still an issue.
She told me “You will look like miss world if you straighten your hair”,
Is it too hard to digest the fact of different tastes,
I will not speak about how chocolate is rich in color,
A cliché it became,
I am simply me,
No colors in this palette,
Just a human,

Our outer layer might be different but the body is composed of same flesh, feelings and emotions you just need an eye to look into someone’s heart

Most of the scriptures are nothing but white papers, the real value comes with the ink, which is black in color
