MELANIN:AN UNMATCHED BELLE

Kissed by the morning sun, Bathed in long-lost history, Clothed in pride and resilience, Showcasing its wearer in unbridled elegance. Oh, dear beauty — Your skin draws stares From east to west, Telling the story of a phoenix — That cannot die nor wither, bound to be reborn. A gazelle in heaven’s paradise, Don’t tell me this skin is too dark. It is meant to burn, To glow and showcase its glory. A strutting light Mustn’t be dimmed or covered. Your light is to be showcased — A pearl within stones. --
