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?
