Skin Bleaching Pt 1

Published June 12, 2017

A daily crime committed against your skin. Each dose trying to strip away the pigment of shame. Each dose trying to strip away the pigment of hate: for that is what you see and that is what you feel when you look at yourself. Centuries of discord brought about this act of skin bleaching. Centuries of humiliation brought about this violent act that is inflicted upon your skin; to be something that you will never be. Each layer that is stripped away is a layer taken from our Ancestors. Did they suffer for nothing? The hurt, the self-hatred, the trauma, runs so deep. That you would rather live your life as an imitation to be light.
