I Want To Live #IWTL
Most of my stories are based on facts…shall I say “real life.
Real life with a twist of fiction…
The what if
The maybe this could happen differently
This post like others I have made in the post
Is based what you would think a horror film
A wild thought of my imagination
I ate too much before I went to sleep and the nightmare
Is the concoction of my wildest fears manifested into reality
With Mother’s Day a few days away
Fear is trying to consume my soul
Captivate my mind in a way that I hold my children close
Closer than what I was held
Maybe because my family didn’t have those fears
No fear allowed us to explore and live on the edge
Edge of greatness spiked my knowledge and experiences
The FEARS
Of my Great Grandparents and a little of my Grandparents
Skipped my Parents’ generation to attack mine
Pledge on full war
No armor
No warning
No justice
And we haven’t had peace in years
Peace helps you sleep at night
Peace allows you to not know what anxiety feels like
Peace is pure happiness to watch your children grow
Peace is waiting on them to get license and explore
Peace is knowing the Life you gave birth to will do wonderful things
Peace is knowing that violence is only in shows
Peace is growing old and sharing all life experiences
With Mother’s Day a few days away
Fear is what is shakes my heart
Every time I turn on the news or tune into social media
Another person that looks like me or my child
DEAD
No not of natural causes if you must ask
Because of the hatred that fills the heart of cowards
Cowards that claim to be normal people
I am normal people
I hate no one
I look forward to harming no one
So if they are normal, I choose not to be
I made my promises when I was a child to grow up to be somebody
I made my life choices and did everything I set to be
All has not manifested as of yet
But I know in the works
Those whom I work with made the same vow
Those I choose to live amongst worked hard to live where we live
But why are your nightmares different than mine
Could it be that my nightmares are someone who looks like me actual reality!!
You judge and don’t want to be judged
You make comments and do actions
You believe you had great intentions
You lock your doors as if you are being threatened
You accuse because you were the one who wronged
You don’t want to be accountable for your own actions
You do everything without thinking
You make assumptions that all are the same
You ask for forgiveness
You what you feel most in your heart
You claim it is all a lie
We see you
You refuse to see us
We know what you have done
You refuse to do right by us
We hear the things you say
You make us #hashtags
We are more than #hashtags
You silence us
We refuse to be silenced
I am human
Doing the same things in life that you are doing
Becoming successful and manifesting more success
Don't take away from me what you did not GIVE ME
I eat - I want to live
I have a phone - I want to live
I believe in the second amendment - I want to live
I drive - I want to live
I walk - I want to live
I jog - I want to live
I buy - I want to live
I look - I want to live
I own - I want to live
I drink - I want to live
I smoke - I want to live
I breathe - I want to live
I parent - I want to live
I am parented - I want to live
I AM BLACK - I HAVE THE SAME RIGHT TO LIVE
STOP THE HATRED
