Light is Purity
May 18, 2010
When you talk about
The color of someone’s skin
It offends them
They have to face the hardships of disliking their skin
And experiencing depression
Because you have better skin
Lighter skins means purity
The purity of being light
And being whole
The module of beauty
And the mold of love
My skin of the ugliest colors
As I try and become lighter
And stay out of the sun
And you a tan
That vanishes after days

Your friends are either very ignorant or jerks. Dark skin is beautiful! I have a similar problem, but my skin is light. You are an awesome writer! :D
