Blacker the Berry, Sweeter the Juice

People judge me because I’m darker toned than my peers. If they were to talk to me, they would understand I am the sweetest seed in a peach. I’m bullied because of my skin, so when i retaliate with my words, I’m portrayed as an angry “monkey.” I’m actually the nicest “human” being.
