Why when i start a game, i always have blacks.

I start play on lichess two months ago, and not once time i play with whites. I play 10-15 games every day, and always i play with black. Someone can help me ?

Thanks

You have been white some times so you're just probably having a run of games with black because it's random.
You've played a total of ten games, so it's not that unusual. Also, at your level, having the white pieces isn't much of an advantage. Keep playing, and you'll start getting games with white.
Considering OP played a lot of non-standard time control games, I wouldn't be surprised if they actually accepted open challenges in the lobby where their opponent had chosen white for themselves. If it's a nuisance for you, you can check before accepting or just use quick pairing.
Of the 36 games that are in your game list right now, you completed 18 games with black, 9 with white. Additionally, 9 with black were aborted at the first move. So it's a long way from 'and not once time i play with whites' (and also a long way away from 'I play 10-15 games every day'). Lichess tries to balance white/black, but the ones you(?) aborted likely don't count. Still 18/9 seems a bit lopsided, but do realize that if you'd distribute color randomly, you'd have a 1/512 probability of getting black 9 time in a row. Unlikely for one person for a fixed stretch of 9 games, but sure to happen for someone or in a longer sequence of games. Additionally, as #7 says, your opponents might be choosing white in the lobby.
