And then it was dawn.
So serene so vivid.
She saw herself in the mirror.
As the rays of the peeking sun touched her smooth velvety brown skin,
She couldn't help but admire her reflection.
How naive. How wrong she had been about her colour.
The comments did sting. "DARK you are"
Absurd. But somehow she seemed lost in awe.
Awe caused by the fact that the skin colour she loathed, brown, is hypnotic now.
Beauty lies within the eye and soul of a person, not in the colour of skin.
With this thought she walked out to see the horizon: Her newly found dignity !
