Black is the absence of light. It is also the lack of reflection of color, absorbing the incoming light and reflecting nothing for the eye to see. The light that surrounds me still shines brightly, displaying such beautiful colors. Visually appealing and stimulating, it dances around the deep darkness.

I have nothing to reflect to show a color to represent me. Black being able to suck all colors into it fits. I do not live in the shadows, out of view, covered by the clouds. I live within the spectrum of light, they reflect so brightly.

I do not want to be black. It is not fun to suck the color and light from the world around me and trap it inside the darkness. I have tried to allow the bright world to be my friend; in small amounts I can see the light again. Small amounts are all I am capable of doing.
