What Is Black?


What is black?

 

Is black the color of the dark?

Is black the color of my hair?

Is black the color of my skin?

Or is black the name that the white men gave us to make us feel like we are nothing but just a color

I don’t know if this is true

But I could tell you what black really is

Black is the pride of getting up in the morning and starting your story

Black is something that could match with any other colors without failing

 

What is black?
