I was reading a poem

I was reading a poem called “a black woman nothing else” it was so pretty, the author was Annie Ruth the poem started off really sad the author was expressing her sadness of being a dark skin woman. She was very ashamed that her skin was so dark. She was only a chilled but she was constantly made fun of because of the color that she was. So she assumed that her skin was bad. She goes on to explain that her father had left the family to marry a white woman. The author said that she would always answer to her father. That made Annie very unhappy. It made her think that a white woman had more or something better that what she had. But one day she met a woman who was darker than her self. The woman said that she was beautiful. That she was giving a gift from god. Annie herd her say that and soon everyone was saying it they were all calling her beautiful. Annie realized that she was right Annie was beautiful and lucky and she embraced her skin. I really liked this poem. Again the poems name is “ a black woman nothing else” and the author is Annie Ruth check it out for your self.
