Black Is Me


Black is the color of Mama
Who is an angel
Black is the color that was
Given to me and my Maya
Who is a breath of fresh air

Black is the color of my skin
The symbol of high self esteem
Black, silky, and radiant
Black is my protection from the sun

Black is my Raymond
Who came into my life
Riding on a black stallion
Black is our Keith
Our first expression of our love

Black is my rock in a storm
Black is my oasis in a time of need

Black is me
