Stop this before it’s too late,

Trust me this is no clickbait.

For acceptance, skin bleaching,

This is what our society has been teaching?

Despite knowing the harmful effects we use it,

Today I ask, why can’t we refuse it?

Is such toxicity needed?

It’s equal to the state post self harm, skin that bleeded.

Protect yourself from such harm,

Right now it’s ringing, it’s an alarm.
