The Shattered Mirror

Why, brother, deny your reflection?
Why, sister, hide your perfect complexion?
In your gaze, an endless search,
Seeking love where it has never existed.

You disdain those who share your skin,
You turn away from your roots, your flag.
You crave their smile, you want their approval,
But their world is built upon your humiliation.

Every rejection of your kin, every word of disdain,
It is your own story you destroy.
The chains are invisible, but they are there,
For your soul binds itself to a world that does not see you.

Why flee the glow of your melanin,
Why dim the light that shines within?
Your people are your strength, your pride, your foundation,
To reject them is to walk over your own footsteps.

You will never find love by denying your essence,
By turning your back on those who carry your existence.
So look at the mirror, see who you are,
A being of light, a being complete.
