This account is made up of the members of a group chat. We have very iconic moments, if I do say so myself. So, one day I, Alexei, came up with the idea- which Lucas also shared. Great minds think alike ;) -to start a fic of our best conversations. So, here we are. Please enjoy, we have to scroll through a L O T of texts to find some of these. Also, we made long chapters because the ads after every chapter thing is s t u p i d annoying. Back in my day, Wattpad didn't have ads. And the old icon still existed :( DISCLAIMER: It's in a texting format, so sorry if you aren't a fan of that. This fic is also posted on AO3, under simonsnowman. The admin for that account is Lucas.

^ Not all of the art is originally mine. I traced most of it if I'm being honest. I prefer digital art, but I'm better at traditional.

so young, yet so deadly

When the ceaselessly​ cranking gears of my mind chase away sleep.

Basically, I'm actually going to warn you when I leave again ;D

This compilation of poems and short stories were inspired by Harlem Renaissance artists such as: Langston Hughes, Zora Neale-Hurston, Claude McKay, Lorraine Hansberry, Countee Cullen, W.E.B Du Bois, James Baldwin and countless others. Their influence on and off the page helped shape who I am as an African-American. My work is solely a reflection of multiple aspects of my life and sometimes I will use images that coincide with my subject matter. My poems and short stories "tell it like it is". I'm not trying to throw shade. I'm just speaking my truth.

They are trying to take us and destroy us..they are trying to make us become anything but our self's. They ...the government the people who control us they are the ones who are behind this.. this is why my generation is like this.. and I'm about to explain why

"Let me see your hands!" They demanded. "DO YOU SEE OUR HANDS!!" We cried back. This is my statement, I will not be silent during this time, and will not do nothing while injustice is continuously stalking my people. At times like this, they only make us stronger. As we rise together and fight for what we are owed. So stand together, because the fight is not over, the fight will be won, and the fight certainly won't be lost, not till injustice is dead.
