I'm Back

May's POV

It's been months since I been home and I've been loving it! Since my first album was such a hit, I went on a international tour! Seeing all these places like Nigeria, France, England, and Germany really opened my mind. My conclusion came to that the United States just might not be that bad. I finally got to meet up with my old guardian Rosco and he pushed me to go to therapy. 

(She walks into the therapist's office)

May: Dr. Rahj?

Dr. Rahj: You came today, great have a seat.

May: (Sits on sofa) What are we talking about today? If you pull out those ink spots again, I will hurt you.

Dr. Rahj: (Chuckles) Let's just start by you telling me about your day.

May: Alright, (Gets more comfortable in chair)... I woke up to an apocalypse outside my window! Then I ripped my nightgown off to reveal my super afro-girl outfit under it. With a shake of my afro, my powers activated and I flew out the window. THEN SUDDENLY, I realised there was something wrong. This wasn't a regular apocalypse! It wasn't like the ones in the movies with the zombies or destruction. NO! The world looked normal, people were laughing and having a good day. But all isn't good, see the apocalypse didn't affect everyone. It only affected my people. I saw my brothers being killed for just being themselves. I saw self-hate on my beautiful sister's faces... (Looks at Dr. Rahj) ... My mornings are usually like that. 

Dr. Rahj: Do you feel like it's your job to save these people?

May: Hell yes! Who's going to do it if I don't.. (Stands up and puts her hands on her hips) Coming to save the minds of black people everywhere ... SUPER AFRO-GIRL!

Dr. Rahj: (chuckles to himself a little)... Your birthday is coming up, what do you plan on doing?

May: I'll treat myself to some processed foods and I just might go to bed without twisting my hair. You just don't know the hassle of twisting your hair every night. 

Dr. Rahj: (smiles) Will you ever just give me a normal answer?

May: Normal? I'm not normal.

Dr. Rahj: What makes you not normal?

May: A lot of things. (Looks down) Too many things.

Dr. Rahj: (Writes on his clipboard)... Quick off the top of your head, what do you hate the most about the world today?

May: Lies.

Dr. Rahj: Why?

May: Lies are what I would think the most evil thing ever created. We have been told lies for so long that the truth seems so ridiculous. This country is built on lies. Hollywood is lies. Lies are on TV. Lies are in the books. (Rubs her forehead) Sometimes, I just cry at the thought that I might die never knowing the truth or better yet, knowing the truth and believing it's a lie. Doesn't that scare you doctor? 

Dr. Rahj: I try not to think about it too much.

May: I can't help but think about it. As an artist, I made it my priority to spread the truth. How can I do that when I barely know it myself. 

Dr. Rahj: Why aren't you dating?

May: Why am I not dating? I don't think about dating. 

Dr. Rahj: Why not?

May: I don't think I'm ready for all that honestly. I travel too much and I need to concentrate on my work.

Dr. Rahj: Do you ever feel that your work makes it hard for you to do certain things.
