Truly, Dee

courage doesn’t always roar. sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day that says, ‘I will try again tomorrow.'

white girls who want my culture’s bindis and saris and henna 

take my skin colour too

and my dark brown lips

take my self-hatred because i don’t fit into the euro-centric ideals of beauty

take the oppression too

take the history of colonization that has devastated my country

and the drones that currently devastate my country

take all the bad stuff too

not just the pretty, shiny, sparky bits

take the ugly, dehumanizing and shitty parts too

    Same here. I get a little mad when i see it. The glamour is over exposed and the darkness isn’t.
