I am black
I am a colour
Just like another shade
Just like your perspective towards the maid
I am black
I am an impact
Just like a night
Dark and long
Reflecting your hair
Not your scars.
I am black
I am a pattern
Just like a cup of tea
Forbidden by the whites
I am black
Absorbing everything under pressure
Just like the depth of an ocean
I am black
You owe me, you grow me
Just like negatives
I am black
I am rare, a dare
A negligence everywhere
I am black
I am vast, I am the last
You renamed me as your past.
I am black
I am black
I love white
We became grey
Everybody denied.
I am black
I am not death
Nor I am socially intimate
I am black
I am no dark, I am no foul
I am the owl
I can see your soul.
I am black
I can glow
I can grow
I can mate
I can mourn.
I am black
I am here, I was then
Outside the box
Inside you head.
I am black
I am a colour.
