Why Is It That Most Of What I’ve “learned” About Black People, Involved Their Death And Demise.

Why is it that most of what I’ve “learned” about black people, involved their death and demise.

Where’s the classes talking about the Victories and Celebration of Blackness?

The success and discoveries of black people

The strength and perseverance of black people

I know it’s out there

Why haven’t I found it?

Why isn’t it offered in my area?

Why do I have to be the change I wanna see

Why must I bear the weight or seeking my identity

Why do I need to search and dig through the articles and history books to find facts

Why

Then I just have to sit in a pool of sentences and swim

Drown

Tread

Live in pools of sentences

And stand up and see what’s stuck

What I can take with me

And what I can let wash over me

But I had to find the pool

I had to decide if it was okay to dive in

Idk who created this pool

Idk who’s sentenced these are

But they’re what I have

They’re all I can look to.

Till I create my own pools

With my own waves

Some days it’s hard to pull yourself out of hole you didn’t realized you dug for yourself.

Some days it’s hard to breathe

Some days it’s just hard

But

Some days it’s worth it

Some days you won’t cry

Some days you realize your worth.

Some days you see yourself shining through.

Some days you can grab your own hand and pull yourself out of your own hole.

Either way it’s okay

It can and will be okay

Each day is a new day

Each day is still a blessing

I dream about being a mom more then anything else

I’ve dreamed about my family more then my career my house, my card, the dog.

I’ve dreamed of copious amounts of children

And excited that I was their mom

All just bursting with excitement when I hugs them kissed them

I want to be the one they run to when they cry

I want to tell them it’s okay to cry and understand how to make it better

I want to be the one they call mom

I want to be their provider

Their confidant

I want years down the road for them to call and apologize for yelling me when they were 13 because now they see that I’m right

I want to create children who know how to love

Who love themselves

Who can feel so empowered to change the world.

I want to be a mother to change

I want to be a mother to droppings of love

I want to kiss baby toes

I want to cry at evey graduation and wedding

I want to cheer them on at games

And edit papers

I want to be a mother so bad

But who am I now

And who will I be for them to be proud of

Who will I be before I can be in a position to be a mother

And who’s the father???

Who’s dad because he’s just as important in this scenario

But back to the point

I want to be a mom more then anything

I Use To Hate Myself Till I Met Myself I’m Still Getting To Know Myself But I’m Falling In Love 💕

I use to hate myself Till I met myself I’m still getting to know myself But I’m falling in love 💕 This has been the year of awakening The year of truth and honesty 🌞 I’ve developed a small obsession with myself. I have become very curious of the body I posses. I take a billion selfies because I like to explore the trillions of different angles that I use to hate. I don’t shave because I want to understand and embrace my natural body I don’t wear bras because I want to embrace my natural being and understand my bodies natural self. I don’t wear make up most days because I want to embrace and understand my natural face. 💕 I use to hate me because I wasn’t happy with how other people saw me. I use to hate me because I tried to live freely but I couldn’t because freedom comes with a love that I truly did not understand. 🌞 If God is Love And love is love is love Then I must know the God in me to share my God with you I must love myself to love someone else I must be love to share love I must know love to be love I must know love to share love If love is love is love To be loved is to love To love, you must know what Love is If love is love and God is love Then I Love the God that Loved me I love the God that loves I love the Love that told me it was okay to love I love the love that said “hey buddy you don’t need someone to make you smile , you got me, God, Me, Love, You got me here inside you. Just look and see.” 🖤 I’m looking I’m seeing I dig
