As I marked off another month from my calendar I realized that it was officially 2 years since I had been in this dungeon. My emotions grew intense as I observed inmates that came after me leave.
The intercom alerted that the bathrooms were now open. I took up my hygiene kit and briskly walked to the bathroom.
Really nuh wah nuh dutty gyal chat to me today eno.
Taking a deep breath I looked at my self in the mirror. My usual dark skin had started to fade.
Rass me come a prison come ketch house colour.
Aside from me loosing pigment, prison did wonders in my favour, previously I was more chubby, my face was more full and my tummy flapped over my waistband a bit. Now, I still had a decent amount of my weight but the excessive fat had left. As I loosened my cornrows and got ready to wash my hair I turned around and looked at my butt, my favourite part of my body.
Ye man a it dat.
Luckily it didn't go with the rest.
I quickly finished up and made my way towards the breakfast line. Before I even got the chance to pick up a tray I stopped noticing the "Jail lord" Brittany extend her foot to trip me.
Why crawsis love find me suh?
I hissed my teeth and continued walking, trampling her foot in the process.
"AYE DUTTY GYAL!" She barked and got up.
"Excuse me." I said attempting to get around her but every move I made she followed, obstructing me from passing.
The entire cafeteria of inmates noticed this and grew quiet, waiting to see the outcome.
"You gwaan like uh bigga an betta dan everyone, deh deh a walk round a shake up uh ass everywhere uh guh, mek mi tell uh sumn uh nuh betta dan me gyal." she stated.
"Okay." I stated trying to maintain my composure. It took everything in me to not retaliate but I managed to calm myself down.
That is, until she began coming closer towards me. As I had previously stated....
Mi nuh like nasty gyal.
Her foul odor burned my eyes almost like I was cutting onions. Stepping back I asked
"Bredda uh nuh bade?"
"Weh uh just seh gyal?" she asked and reached to grab my hair. At this point the whole cafeteria was on their feet.
My reflexes instantly kicked in and I caught her hand.
"Doh fucking touch mi before mi flattened uh ina dah room ya." I angrily said
" A me run in ya eno bitch, me ave d most power, u tink uh can flatten me? Guh flatten uh mada." She said, her eyes threatening to drop out of their sockets.
A person could say any degrading and hurtful words to me but one thing I absolutely despised was when people talked about Miss Janet, who was probably stirring up a storm in her grave.
"You know, you speak bout dis power and it come in like you uhself doh know wah it be. Mek mi tell uh sumn, u nuh gain power through fear, ask anybody in here, down to d likkle eediat gyal dem weh nuh stop trail uh n mi know dem woulda seh dem hate uh rass too. So if yuh woulda kindly get the fuck outta mi way and keep mi bloodclat mada outta uh stinking mouth mi coulda guh bout mi business and uh coulda finally mind urs, bitch." I said and pushed away her body which had been pressed against mine.
She scrunched her brows and balled up her fists.
And look how mi did deya a motivate di gyal too.
