La Vie En Rose



THE BLACKNESS OF BLACKNESS

The blackness of blackness.

The essence of the self.

I’m not quite sure my self has an essence anymore.

Some people, they have music

It is something that they know will always be a part of them

Even when they aren’t here anymore

Some people have words, or paint or hammers and nails

I don’t have music or words or hammers and nails

My self is lacking an essence

I’m missing a blackness of my blackness

If I don’t have blackness, do I really exist?

Who am I, if I have no essence?

Am I simply an empty shell, waiting to find an essence to fill it?

Am I really anyone

Without blackness?
