World Poetry Day

By Anonymous -
Today, fellow teens, is World Poetry Day. We decided to make our own poem for you. Enjoy!

Maleeka is shy of her skin
‘Cause she doesn’t know the skin that she’s in
Be who you are
You are black
You are smart
Separate yourself from the negative
And be your own executive
Love the skin that you’re in
Why try and be someone you're not?
People are always talking about you
Collect your thoughts
Why try and have lighter skin
Be you
Love the skin that you’re in
Be confident in your skin
Walk with your head held high
Try and  touch the sky
Denying the lies
Love the skin that you’re in

Black Girls rock if you didn’t know
Having a low self esteem just doesn’t need to grow
We must become stronger
And learn to stand up to the negatives a little longer
Love the skin that you’re in
Because I love the skin that I’m in

Only problem? The lyrics were incorrect, as the band later revealed. Yikes! Equally as awkward are those A-listers (Johnny Depp and Brody Jenner) who decided to get a permanent dedication to their loves — tattoos that actually ended up lasting longer than the relationships. Then there are the handful of celebs (see:  Britney Spears  and  Rihanna ) whose foreign language tats ended up having different meanings than they intended and the stars whose skin art is just completely misspelled. Moral of the story? Double, triple and quadruple-check your art before you get inked! And let these cringe-worthy celeb tattoos (wh
