Beautiful Costume

Sadness is a beautiful costume Made of african cloths Sewn with lines of sadness Which I wear everyday Along the years If other clothes I had to wear Why in stress only Would I empty myself completely? When I go out to the street Brown curly my hair Smooth dark my skin Beneath the beautiful costume Of african cloths How many of you know the pain that accompanies me?
