There’s a concept the brides are supposed to wear white on
their wedding day, that white is pure.
There's a concept that one shouldn't wear whites after Labor
Day , that the world is too dirty from all the struggles, all the obstacles
that were jumped over to risk dirtying something that can't be so easily
cleaned.
There's a concept in popular belief that my skin is a night
sky enough to be bad, therefore I'm closer to the complexion that gives respect
as a gift rather than being earned or bought. There's a misconception within my
community that whites on pale skin doesn't look right that it doesn't work with
color theory. I'm wearing whites for graduation. This is a new start, one that
was not given to me with the pass of my complexion. It was one that God wrote
in the book for me, this book sits on the shelf in the library of my life a
collection of beginnings & endings
