"For you, a thousand times over" <br /> - Khaled Hosseini


It was only when the white boy

Told her

Brown wasn’t a color

That she felt invisible 

 

For she thought his skin came

From the sun’s kisses while hers

Were of the night sky’s bitter tears.

This piece is about a girl skinned by racism's own claws until she has no color anymore.
