Why see black as ugly
Black also portrays beauty
Elegance of midnight
It is mysterious, timeless
Show a beginning and ending

Out of black's deepest darkness;
Pain forms writers
Inner hurt creates art
It enters the soul
Ignites your heart

So paint with tears
Write with Black
Pour out the anxiety
Wash of the ugliness
Bring back the beauty

Because of my darkness
I shine
Because of my scars
I am beautiful

Black test your limits
Your sight
Sense of direction

Black is the pupil of the eye
But it lets you see
the color of the soul

Without the basis as black
I would not be able to establish my color
