Because I Am...
Because my day is as dark as my eyes.
Because my mug of coffee is always half full.
Because my hero hides in a dark place.
Because my God is as my hero.
Because my eyes are as dark as the lake.
Because I was born into a dark soiled country.
Because I will die and return to this soil.
Because my fathers heart is darker than mine.
Because my mother cannot find the light.
Because my inside is as beautiful as the surface
Because I am, who i am.
