When I sat infront of mirror I gazed deep into my eyes To the depths of black and brown Where I found white shades of light . I looked deep into my dark skin And found my sturdy self . I saw my reflection Miming at me All those things I never heard before ; I heard a holler of it For brooding in dark Paused a little and hurled me again It asked me for a promise To be kind to self . It yelled at me for putting self to the dark corners In my eyes came the tears of soft remorse And I felt a stab of regret .
