The Life of "BLACK PEOPLE"

9.

Give me time, it's my first 💛

09/09/1997  - 02/02/2017

   I look at the tombstone, upset that I let this happened to myself. I tried to stop the tears that fell down my face.

   Why can't my people just be happy yo, it's a damn shame we gotta go through this in the first place.

   First, I decided to let a Kingpin to take my virginity. He broke and hurt me.

Second, my brother ran out of me cause of my dumb mistakes

Third, my father became a drunk, he hated the life he loved.

Fourth, he cheated more then 10 times on my mother, She took out her hatred on me

Fifth, I got use to feeling like I was nothing and empty

Sixth, my mother hated everything that went back to my father

Seventh,  my brother took a look at reality

Eighth, I got saved, from my mother's hatred

Ninth, I became the woman, everyone went to for advice

Tenth, I'm back to square 1, my brother is gone and all I got is these empty feelings
  
   I watch as the sun was beginning to set, the view lit up the graveyard.

  I felt a little breeze come my way.

My only love, was dead.

  Shot down because he spoke.
Shot down because he's black.
Shot down because it's him.
Shot down because he cared.
Shot down because he loved.
Shot down because he fought.
Shot down because he stood.
 
  I sat down on the grass, not caring if it was wet or not.

   "Mimi? I wanted better for us. I wanted the world to know we're black and we lived."

    "I tried to balance it out, I'm sorry Mimi." I cried out

  Knowing if he was alive he'd probably smack the shit outta me

I placed the blunt I had in my fingers to my mouth.

"I've done a lot of these ceremonies, and you've been to each other. Mimi, I never thought I'd be doing one for you." I cried while blowing out smoke

"I love you Mauri."

"What the fuck Mauri?"

"I'm sorry Mauri, forgive me please." I said through my tears.

I tried to continue,
"Monea, I gotcha girl forever."

"Momma fuck you, how could I ever love you after what you did to the love of my life."
