Sunrise, Sunset

not fitting in

the dark skinned girls

would say to me

"girl you got it made"

your light brown skin

and long "good" hair

will lure all the boys in

but that's not really true

some of the boys prefered

fairer hues or different

races and ethnicities

so where do I fit in?

with the latin girls?

my hair is not silky

and my Spanish too bad

to be a member of their club

white girls you ask?

they reject my application too

my hips are too wide

and my eyes aren't blue
