I ask why us?


Why, is it because I'm unarmed 
Is it because I'm walking with a hoodie 
Is it because of my skin being darker than yours 
Is it because I'm poor 
Is it because I'm different 
Is it because I'm black 
Is it because you think I'm in a gang 
Is it because you think I'm a theft 
Is it because you think I killed someone 
Is it because you think I have a warrant 
Is it because you think you think I've been to jail 
Is it because you think, I'm a threat 
Is it because you think, I'll kill you 
Is it because you think, I'm armed 
I didn't do anything, why me.
I put my hands up, as tears fall from my face 
I'm a father, a brother, a sister, a mother, a son, a daughter, a friend, a lover, a person of faith. 
I didn't do nothing 
" I can't breathe."
"Please, I can't breathe." 
I ask why us?
Why me, why her, why him, why my family, why my friend, why my community.
Why America ?
Why ?
Why us, our lives matter too.
My life matter.All Rights Reserved

The Noble Consort is the most favored in the harem by NoenSnow

Author: 三只鳄梨 Translator: Me (XiaoBai) 贵妃娘娘宠冠后宫 The legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's household, Lin Wanyi, is renowned for her beauty and exceptional talents. However, to secure her safety and livelihood, she has always been cautious and discreet in the inner quarters. She originally thought she would marry into a stable family and live a peaceful life, but everything changed the year she received the imperial decree to enter the palace. With her father and brothers being unreliable, her position in the palace was merely that of a low-ranking concubine, leaving her no choice but to rely on her elder sister, the Imperial Consort. Lin Wanyi intended to live a quiet life behind closed doors, but unexpectedly, the cold and aloof Emperor visited her more frequently than anyone else! Outsiders believed that Lin Wanyi was favored for her charms, but they didn't know that the strong and reserved young Emperor was captivated by her at first sight...

Jiu Qiansui - Nine Thousand Years by CeritanyaNyai

In the 23rd year of the Longfeng reign, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace had been deposed for five years. Once a figure of otherworldly grace, he was banished to the imperial mausoleum, crushed under endless humiliation. That same year, the Emperor, blinded by the pursuit of immortality, let the West Bureau eunuchs seize power. At the helm was Xue Shu, the Chief Eunuch of the West Bureau-a man whose influence eclipsed the court, silencing opposition with a single wave of his hand. Even the throne itself danced to his tune. Princes grovelled and schemed, desperate to curry favor, hoping he would elevate them to the imperial seat. But no one could've guessed that Xue Shu would one day retrieve the deposed Crown Prince from exile and personally help him ascend to the throne. The once untouchable, iron-fisted eunuch, who held the empire in his grasp, willingly knelt at the feet of the resplendent new Emperor, offering himself as nothing more than a footstool. On the eve of the enthronement ceremony, Yin Chengyu bathed and burned incense. The infamous Nine Thousand Years (Jiuqian Sui) cradled the imperial robes in his arms, personally dressing the future Emperor. In the full-length bronze mirror, the scarlet-robed Chief Eunuch of the West Bureau wrapped his arms around the Emperor-to-be, lowering his head to breathe in his scent, his voice a husky whisper laced with a mocking smile: "Your Majesty has finally achieved your ambitions. Might you grant me the chance to fulfill mine?" But it was all a dream. Yin Chengyu woke, yanked from the memories of his past life. It was the 17th year of Longfeng. He was still the noble and untouchable Crown Prince. His mother's family had yet to be slaughtered, and he hadn't been confined to the mausoleum, isolated and helpless. There was still a chance to change his fate-by roping in that scheming eunuch and wagering everything on one final, desperate gamble. Then he met Xue Shu again.

Bride of Sultan ~ The Forgotten Rose by magicallovely

This was my first time. I patiently waited for the man Dua Begum told me would be my first to bed with. After starting to bleed two years ago, my stepmother left me at a pleasure house when my father abandoned us. Since then, I've accepted the pleasure house as my new home. He walked in a black Kurta with subtle green eyes and a deep voice. The moment he asked my name and age and then proposed to me for the wedding, I fell in love. There was no denying it. I was just fifteen, and he was nineteen. But, ever since the night of our wedding, he has not come back to take me with him to his home. He left me alone, stranded, burning for him. I did not know who he was. What did he do? All I knew was that he was the soul of my World. My Jaan-e-Jahan. Seven years later, he came back as a storm in my life. As Sultan Rehman Sulaiman. The son of the man who took everything from my family, even before my birth. The reason I ended up in the Pleasure House in the first place. But my love for my husband, the Sultan, is bigger than the mountains, deeper than the oceans, and wider than the skies, even though he is himself a Mountain, impossible to move, an ocean, scaring people to stay away, and a wide sky, impossible to reach. Discipline is everything for him. He is full of love and respect for his family but equally heartless and dangerous toward those who cross him. And, in all of this, I entered his life as a burning flame, a tiny candle's flame, dancing for his attention, crying for his affection, and dying for his love. Until he killed my only loved one. My love died. And, his never bloomed. I was once a bud, unbloomed Rose, who opened my deep red petals for him, and he turned them black, leaving me forgotten inside the dying pages. Was I always forgotten for him? Did he never consider me anything more than a mere responsibility? Will I always be remembered as Bride of Sultan ~ The Forgotten Rose?
