Color Me Black
I am the dividing line between inside and outside the lines
Where other colors bleed, I give finality to the design
Under pressure I am the barrier from which you can't see
With a gentle touch I give the illusion of transparency
I portray emotions like fury and bleakness
I can write words like sugar and sweetness
Shade or shadow, contrast or depth
I can do it all, I can even play death
With imagination, there is nothing I lack
I am one end of the spectrum, color me black
