The African Curse

 

Art by : FoxyFries

. . .

She's scrubbing her skin viciously.
Her skin.
Dark and dry.
 
It's scorched by the African sun.

They call it the "African Curse".
 
A vile taste stays on her tongue. 
The smell from her fingertips nauseates her.

Her room.

Scattered with magazine pages,

filled with images of beautiful women.

She wants to be that woman.
Beautiful and light.
Skinny and flat.

Her hair.
Dark brown and rough.
A petting zoo, a flaw.

Her lips.
Too big,  

too plump,

too brown.

Her breasts.
Too big, too brown.

She's still rubbing her skin.
She's taking care of her flaws.
She's going to be beautiful now.

She's going to be loved now.
