Just Like Me
Black describes me.
My moods, my personality.
Black is a colour that everyone likes.
Black is subtle,
Not too flashy, not to boring.
Black is power, authority.
Black moves like air.
Close your eyes, it's everywhere.
Black is nonchalant.
Black's hard as steal
Black is my best friends.
Because we're just alike,
plain, basic, understated,
unlike a red or orange or yellow.
We don't brighten up a room.
We bring a coolness
That can't be produced by another.
Stone-faced is our expression.
Relaxed is our mood,
Our state of mind.
We stand alone,
But we can mix
With all people, all colours.
By Lawan Mitchell (Africa)
