Black coal
Black scar
Black scale
Black and lovely melanin
You are as tough as a coal
Like a scar, you have marked me a spot among the cloud
Your hardness has taught me hardship and endurance under the scorching fire of the yellow glow
Black and lovely melanin
You made me weak
You make me strong
You made me sad
You make me happy
You are a great gift from the world’s blacksmith
Of the colors in the world, you are greatness
Black and lovely melanin
From you, the blacksmith of the world refined and nurtured me into a lustrous gem
I will love and cherish you forever.
