so there's this sister . . .

So there's this sister...
Ridiculed for centuries because God blessed her with a sun kissed complexion,
Full of simplified complexities despite societies persistence to make her appear more complicated than she really is.
A sister who's told how beautiful of a "dark skinned" woman she is as if beauty of her kind doesn't come around often... when her kind of beauty is unmatched
A sister who's color has always been a topic of discussion... whose looks are exotic, skin flawless, beauty breath taking.
Telling me her story every time I look into her face... sharing all of the history that lies in her shade of brown.
Reminding me of how gorgeous I am when the world tries to shun me for a uniqueness I am in love with.
A skin that history has proven to be tough... that is sometimes forgotten about and belittled for shallow and unintelligent reasons.

So there's this sister...
Who loves me for who I am, appreciative of what God has created.
A sister who I thank... For her beauty is my beauty.
A sister whose past will forever be embedded into my soul and nature of existence will forever fill my heart.
A sister who I too am staring at... For I am the beautiful dark brown, chocolate sister staring back at me.
