People only see what Shyane Tiara Cooper wants them to see. That is what she post on social media. They think her life is perfect when in all honesty it's the exact opposite.
I haven't talked to Malik is three days. I miss him but I can't talk to him, I'm sure he thinks I'm crazy or some shit and I'm embarrassed. That's not the type of shit you want everyone to know, I don't know why I told him.
These three days haven't been ideal you know? I've been super depressed. Just thinking about everything got me down.
While I was sitting in the dark my bell rung. I ignored it. It rung again, this time it was followed by knocks. Whoever it is won't go away. I might as well answer it.
I got up and went to the door. I opened it without asking who it was. It's Malik with a big thing of flowers. "Hey.", he said.
"Hey.", I said.
"Can I come in?" I walked in the house leaving the door open for him. After a little bit I heard the door close and a light turned on. "I've been calling and texting you."
"I've been busy."
"Too busy for your friends?", he asked. I looked at him. "Somehow Bree got my number and called. She asked if I talked to you cause they were worried. I had a feeling that you were alive, just not ok.", he said.
"I'll call her. Thanks.", I said.
"I'm sorry. For laughing at you. I didn't know that happened to you and I'm deeply sorry that it did. I promise I would never hurt you. I know what no and stop means, I know right from wrong. I know talking about that might have opened something that was closed or in the process of closing and I'm sorry. I am here though, I'm here. If you ever wanna talk or anything I'll listen. If you want a hug I'll drive here to hug you then leave right after if you want. If you don't wanna be alone I will sit in silence with you. I got you, I promise." I walked to him and hugged him tight, he hugged me back.
...
Malik is downstairs and I'm getting dressed. Just took a shower.
As I put my leggings on my door was knocked on. I went and opened it. "You good?", he asked.
"Yeah, can we drink?"
"Yeah, you want me to go get it?"
"Yeah, Facetime me when you get there.", I said.
"Will do.", he said.
...
I'm sitting here with Malik drinking and thinking. "Talk to me.", he said.
"About what?", I asked.
"Whatever you're thinking about."
"My heads everywhere." I chuckled then took a shot. "I wonder something. Like so if God give his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers why are people killing their selves? Maybe he thought they were strong but, he was wrong." He took a shot.
"I think you're wrong about that.", he said. "For one God makes no mistakes. There's a reason for everything, everything. I personally feel like people kill their selves because they're hurting, they're tired, and mostly they don't know their strength. Someone can dead ass kill their self cause they think they won't get better or cause they're tired not knowing they have the power and strength to make it through it. You for example, I don't know if you tried to commit suicide but I do know that if you did you didn't know what you could do. You're a black woman so automatically you're strong as fuck. Being black is hard and so is being a woman. You have the power to bring another life into this world and you have the power to bring the biggest man down if you actually tried. Not physically but mentally and emotionally. You are strong, you are power.", he said. I just looked at him as he talked listening to everything he said taking everything in. He's ahead of his age. I feel like I'm talking to an old person right now. "You feel me?", he asked after he was done talking.
"Yeah.", I said nodding my head. "I feel like I'm talking to an old person right now.", I said making us laugh. "I feel like you know a lot.", I said.
"I do."
...
I changed then took pics for Instagram. After I talked to my girls though.
