A CROW ISN'T A PEACOCK

...by Poetic Tee "Here, take a sip"

Just 'cos you are light skin
Doesn't make you a queen.
In fact, you can be any color
Blue, brown, yellow or green.
If flaunting pride's your game
Go on, how often is time mean.
Respect you desire to earn
Faking smiles behind a screen.
Stand up like a he, though a she
Barely can you, all bare and lean.
Fading grace, draining beau
You go being it once, sixteen.
Look twice as beautiful, try hard
Oho dai, now a mama to a teen.
Ride a ride, made of gold of old
Wear atampa, lace, why not satin?
Grey, hey! Stay longer you can't
You're only human, not a jinn.
Life's for living till it comes
Then your breathe heads home, fin.
