Dark Side of Black

I am not a hue or visual impression experienced in direction
I am not a negative connotation that stains an imagination

I am not a known falsehood in propaganda to create an opponent
I am not a tragic time embarrassing the damaging nature content

I am not a rain cloud in a psychological atmosphere
I am not a curse bursting out of sentimental fear

I am not a tactic or an ingredient of destruction
I am not a secrecy unknown or inexplicable in expression

I am not a witch craft associated with human skull
I am Black, I reside in the beautiful

I endeavor to liberate this existence out of the panorama of life
I no longer can perceive this existence of my being as a gloomed failure
