I'm having one of these days

We're everything I do feels wrong

Where I feel wrong

My face

My hair

My body

My colour

Me

I wanted to lie down and die

Eat my French fries alone

In the dark and cry

I was asking me

Why does a girl of 18 look like me

But I saw them in my mind

Beautiful. Strong. Women of colour

Inspirations

Human like me

Insecure like me

Vulnerable like me

Themselves and Outspoken unlike me

I can choose to lie down and die

Or try every single day

Like them


Shout out to my inspirations: Whoopi Goldberg, Jennifer Lewis,Obviously Beyonce, alot of other women I forget to mention. And MOST IMPORTANTLY: My mother, who is the bravest woman I know!
