14/30 If you knew me...

I was reminded of my responsibility this evening.
stumbled upon a video, and then hundreds more entitled.
If you knew me...

Our children are stressed out
picking on each other
attacking
any and every difference
isolating each other

our girls
our young girls

should never
be filled
with so much fear
the cut in the morning
as a release
to make it thru the day

purge after gym
to full from
holding in shame

So insecure
I wonder
the secrets
the name caller has

why hate
slides past her lips
as easy
as butter on pancakes

Fat.Stupid.Ugly
retard.fag.
die

what would make it ok
to offer an option
of suicide

condone such an act
and even
after
the names shot
past your lips

with perfect aim
landing

as a cut
on the arm
she will still

with badge hanging
offer to hug you
her heart
is not harmed

kim 15
smiled
after
she shared her story
and offered
an open ear

I told her
she
is an inspiration

    So important. Bullies are not new. But when self worth and love are taught at birth and nurtured for life, the words are not a child's truth. Do your eyes light up each time your child enters the room? That is the best protection we can give them.

Election day. 2020 Brain dump  We won't even know the winner today. We have at least a week for that. I will focus on staying black. You see that is the thing, no matter who wins, I will still be a child of an enslaved African. A child of American Slavery. No matter who wins that fact will be ignored, the proven damage that this has caused will be ignored. The jim crow laws, the KKK, the burning crosses, the fathers that never made it home, the poverty all of it will be ignored. No matter who wins Black men will be seen as the enemy and the problem. NO MATTER who wins the LGBTQI agenda will outweigh the Black agenda. This election had no benefit for ME directly that I was able to see. No one spoke directly to me, my people, or my community. I think both Red and Blue are racist, sexist, classist, and anti-black.  Both Red and Blue will deny White Supremacy, will deny the hate and fear of black skin so fuck'em both. I just had to get this off my chest you know and No!! I am not a

I'm better left alone

I’m a better person when I am alone. I think I underestimated how influenced by others I have been, like my whole like. I remember a report card from my child hood. Tamara is very talkative and is easily influenced by others….. That was the only comment I remember. I do not remember anyone doing anything or talking to me about it. I am not sure when I noticed that it was a problem, but I know I did. That is the point I made sure that everything I did was because I wanted to do it. Through the years I may have done a few things I didn’t want to do, I either had no choice, no awareness or was possibly forced. Social media was bringing all of that back. I was able to influence by so many people and so many things and situations. I think I was to confused, I wasn’t brave, I was shame to have a different opinion or no opinion at all. I am a better person when I am alone, left to create my own reality. Left to create my own expectations, based of desires that I have from within
