I was so scared to stand up to the white man, black man, my mom, white woman, and this country

I struggle the most when it came to being oppressed by my own country that is supposed to "protect, to serve, the citizens of this country"

To this day I am afraid of defending myself and speaking up 

However, I am grown, I'm growing. I need to stop biting my tongue for others

I lose the people in my life because they can't handle the truth, and I can't make them understand

The moment I learn to value my feelings and opinions, I will find true happiness in this world

To the person that dm me back in 2020 and his girlfriend in 2021, I don't care for your opinion

To the boy that used me this year and continues to lie to his girlfriend and blames me for him having split feelings and his cheating, I am not the one to blame. 

I will take back the energy I gave to those people. 

My mother is a strong woman that needs to listen to others

This country is trying to kill me every day with these oppressing laws, I will not let you kill me

My life matters despite what everyone thinks, my life matters no matter the situation

I am not a hypersexual black woman, I am not ghetto, I am not the cause for your boner and your inability to control yourself, I am not the cause for your urges to harm me, I am not the one that caused you mental discomfort.

My life matters no matter what anyone says. I will survive this world no matter the situation. 

I have the privilege to keep going. I have a say whether I succeed or not in this world. I will not take my own life and I will not let anyone take my life. 

The moment I open my mouth to speak the truth everyone will reach out to tear me apart and I welcome them with a smile on my face
