The Hue of Me

The Hue of Me

For too long, I was told to favor a different hue,
Too young to understand why.

As I grew older,
The very ones who mocked me
Used bronzers to chase a different tone.

Their insecurities rubbed off on me
For far too many years.

But then I stopped seeing through their eyes,
And began to see through my own.

I finally recognized a color so gorgeous
It brought tears to my eyes.

For too long, I had overlooked
The beauty God had gifted me.

That day, I finally saw… me.
