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

Rebirth of the Forsaken Empress by yuershin

Rebirth of the Forsaken Empress - Synopsis Betrayed and left for dead, an elite assassin awakens in the frail body of Empress Selene Valeria-reviled, abandoned, and imprisoned in the Cold Palace. Once discarded by the emperor and falsely accused of poisoning a favored concubine, Selene wasted away in despair. But this is no longer her story. Determined to rewrite fate, the assassin refuses to beg for love or power. Instead, she vows to reclaim her dignity, outmaneuver the treacherous court, and most of all-protect the one person the former empress abandoned: her son, Crown Prince Caius. With sharp wit and deadly skill, she will show the empire that she is no longer a helpless pawn but a ruler in her own right. And if anyone dares to stand in her way, they will learn-too late-that this empress was once an assassin who never failed a mission.

After The End by Gabbie_456

Being the daughter of the infamous Villainess isn't as hard as it seems-especially when your mother is the epitome of grace, elegance, and an unshakable coldness. "Father! Mom! Let's all sleep together!" Like any child, I tried to mend the cracks between my parents for a happy ending. But life rarely goes as planned. The Crown Prince, Theodore De Aurelia. _________________________ Now, leaning against the cold stone of a pillar, I can't bring myself to meet Theo's piercing gaze. "Irene," he whispered, his grip tightening on my shoulders, his voice yearning and possessive. "Don't you dare think to leave me." But, I just wanted a happy ending!!

The Qing Dynasty Consort who wants to be a Salted Fish by floatingclouds03

original author: 姣姣月明 for offline purposes, not my original story. Su Yi was once a free-spirited cultivator who failed her tribulation and, through a stroke of fate, was transported into a Qing Dynasty novel. She became a cannon fodder female character who was treated as nothing more than a baby-making machine by her sister. The sister was the protagonist of this Qing Dynasty novel and, with the mindset of keeping the child while discarding the mother, ensured that the cannon fodder gave birth to a child and then died from severe postpartum bleeding. The protagonist naturally took over the child, becoming the boy's mother. However, after having her own child, she immediately turned into a wicked stepmother, stirring up trouble. Su Yi could understand every word, but when they were put together, she found it a bit confusing. Expecting her to follow the plot was probably a dream. She had been too hardworking before, but now she just wanted to be a salted fish without any ambition. She planned to mooch off the emperor for food and clothing, bask in his imperial aura, and enjoy the beauty of his harem to nurture her body and mind. Life was blissful. Emperor Kangxi suddenly gained the ability to read minds. Anyone within a meter of him or touching him would have their inner thoughts revealed to him. He discovered that the women in his harem were all wearing the skin of beauties while harboring malicious and scheming thoughts, which greatly annoyed him. Among them was an exception - his newly entered fragile and delicate beauty, whose affectionate and gentle gaze made his heart soften considerably. But while she claimed to love him, she was actually eyeing his harem in her heart. Upon closer inspection, he found that she looked just as 深情 (deeply in love) at the beautiful palace maids by his side! Su Yi justified herself with a straight face: "I'm just distributing my love equally to everyone." Kangxi: "What are you talking about ?!"

ᵀʰᵉ ᴹᵒᵒⁿ'ˢ ᶜʰᵒˢᵉⁿ: ᴬ ˢᵗᵃʳ ᴿᵉᵇᵒʳⁿ ⁱⁿ ᴹᵃʰᵃᵇʰᵃʳᵃᵗᵃ by AishaniSutra

Famed South Indian actress Anvika Iyer had everything-beauty, talent, and a life of stardom. But one fateful night, a tragic accident took it all away. Just when she thought her story had ended, she found herself standing before Lord Narayana, who bestowed upon her an extraordinary fate. Reborn as Chandrakanta, the youngest princess of Panchala, she enters a world of gods, warriors, and prophecy. She is no ordinary princess-destined to be the key to preventing the greatest war in history. With divine wisdom lingering in her soul and a destiny intertwined with Karna, Duryodhana, and the Pandavas, Chandrakanta must navigate the treacherous path of politics, love, and war. But fate is never easy to defy. With the echoes of Mahabharata looming over her, can Chandrakanta change the course of history? Or is she merely a pawn in the hands of destiny? One girl. Five husbands. Two kings. A prophecy that could change everything. The war of Kurukshetra has not yet begun. And Chandrakanta holds the power to stop it-if only the gods allow her to.

The First and Forgotten Wife by Shobanamanivannan

Two maids were cleaning a vast chamber when the younger maid asked the older one, "Didisa, you have been working in the palace for two decades right. Please tell me why are we cleaning this already clean chamber?". The older one smiled and said, "Although this chamber is always kept clean, it should be cleaned before anyone can reside here. And above all, our Ranisa is coming back to the palace". The younger maid didn't seem to accept it as a good news and said, "Whoever may come, but they cannot become equal to our choti Ranisa. She is the most kind, generous and sweetest person I have ever seen. She had never gotten angry on any maids even if they make mistakes. Take my example, I have made such a blunder on my first day here, but choti Ranisa accepted me as her own maid. Who can match her in kindness or even sword fight? And moreover she is Ranasa's heart beat". The old maid sighed and said, "Our Ranisa may not hold the heart of Ranasa. She may not be well versed in sword fight. But there is a reason why she is still our Ranisa. Sometimes one may have to be harsh to deliver justice and not just compromise between the victim and the tormentor. The people should have some fear about getting punished if they do wrong. And that charisma is with our Ranisa". ----------------------------------------------------------- A young girl of 17 years, looked at the retreating back of her newly married husband with a sad face. Just then her brother-in-law seated beside her husband's empty seat said, "Why are you sad, Bhabhisa?". She replied, "It's Nothing devarsa". He glanced back at his bhabhisa one more time and thought, "I don't know when bhaisa will open up with bhabhisa about his heart. She thinks that he is not fond of her. But how would one explain, why he ate the saltless food without a complaint and glared at me to keep my mouth shut. Unless it is for his beloved wife".

The adorable prince's cold Rebellion by kpopstandrv

Title: The Adorable Prince's Cold Rebellion Synopsis: A modern-day cold and calculating genius transmigrates into the body of a 6-year-old prince despised by the royal family. The original prince was weak, timid, and always sought his family's approval, only to be ignored and mistreated. However, after the transmigration, the new Prince Rong Xuan completely ignores the royal family, choosing instead to focus on living a peaceful life. Despite his young age, his cuteness and intelligence make him popular among the palace servants and even some ministers. He avoids political struggles and builds his own little world, where he enjoys food, books, and small animals. Years later, when Emperor Li Yuan-a feared and powerful ruler-enters his life, everything changes. The emperor is captivated by the beautiful prince who refuses to bow to anyone, treating him indifferently despite his status. Li Yuan, who was used to people fearing or admiring him, finds himself completely in love with the prince who never sought his favor.

My Sin by bixbix767

Liu Quiaqio, the Empress of the Jin Dynasty has given his heart, soul, and body to the emperor, he loved him to the point it exhausted him, but the cold emperor only had eyes for one person, and that person wasn't him, the warmth in his eyes when he looked at that person would never belong to him, the gentleness when he spoke to that person would never be heard by him until his death. "What wrongs have I committed, for you hate me this much? Did I do anything wrong for you to look at me with such contempt in your eyes? Was loving you such a sin?" I asked weakly "Your sin was that you loved somebody you weren't supposed to love," He responded coldly. 'He's right I squandered so much love on him that I did not have any left for my sons and my daughter, for the ones who truly cared about me. If I had one chance to make it up to them I would spend my whole life doing so' I thought as I closed my eyes and welcomed death or so I thought. *Not yet edited* My story! This is not translated nor does it belong to another author. #1 in male pregnancy- 2/5/22 #1 in children-2/25/22 #1 in regret- 4/18/22
