Analysis of The black in me
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
I am bad at times.
I am black at rhymes.
I am dark in concepts.
I am not poetic.
I am shit in video flicks.
I am crappy at caring.
I am abusive when raging.
I am ignorant when relaxed.
I am neglectful when calmed.
I am basically crazy.
I am lost in my own maze.
I am white.
