A Little More Melatonin in Me

A little more melatonin 

Through my brain ,

Colours me whole.

And I fear it , I fear my skin.

Not because I despise it ,

Because you make me do it

By how you slaughter humans like me 

How you choke us to suffocate

Until we're dead. 

I am scared of myself now ,

Of the gospels of light 

Of how 

Its tenet insouciant to the dark

And fall for the bright. 

How you see a monster creeping in me

How you don't see my heart. 

How you rage against my hue.

How you keep me apart,

From the choice I deserved. 

You beleaguered my existence ,

And I subsumed myself 

In the axioms you put

To survive with you. 

But now I put down my sycophancy ,

I decide to make a choice. 

I quell my loathe of this colour 

And I choose to not 

let you have me smothered. 

I choose to not obey your decrees,

Not where you mutilate my voice.

Have not centuries seen us,

Convulse in pain for we didn't agree?

To the malignant destiny you

 conserved for us.

 No , now I do not give up. 

 Now I do not blame the

 Little more melatonin in me 

 And here , brighter I see 

 in the mere words and thoughts

 And not in the colour 

 For you to let us rot

 In the name of it. 

 No you don't decide for me.

 No you cannot annihilate my existence

 I won't let you now ,

 We won't let you now. 

 For my colour sable ,

 I won't let you decide 

 The fate of the little more

 Melatonin in me.
