What's Life Through Complexion?

I look in the mirror and see
A person
No longer of pale skin
But of darker complexion

Pale brought by days huddled
In the yellow room of being down
Now outside seeing smothered
By grand life outside, I wear a crown
Of a skin in darker color

And with this skin I see change
What is life through complexion?
To see the world
And no longer be imprisoned in thoughts of "I, Strange"
To see the world
And truly appreciate every single direction
And with this skin is the tan change

Darker, tan because of being outside
Darker, tan because I see the outside
Darker, tan because I want to to be outside

And live beyond the yellow room of being down

I look in the mirror and see
A person
No longer of pale skin
But of darker complexion

For pale
I was
Having seen no sun
In yellow room, eaten
Broken down, beaten
By mind withered in the depths of being down

Now no longer pale
I am
Darker
I am
Tan
I am
Said "Sam, I am" =P
Feeling good . . . I am

No longer in the depths of being down

What is life through complexion?

To see life outside what you have previously seen
To see the glory of life's sun
And be marked
Be crowned
By the skin of a darker color
