im just here to be honest

I like writing my feelings. I dont care if they are public or private. Im actually not afraid of my feelings. Im afraid of how people look at me for them. Im afraid to be belittled and treated like everyone doesn't feel. So here's me.

Ive had this poem in my drafts for years and somehow its still relevant...

I allow myself to feel. When my heart hurts, I allow it to speak to my entire body. I allow my tears to fall. These tears fall down my face, the face that fools everyone. Down to my thighs, that have been touched, and teased. Balled up in the corner, on the bathroom floor, holding myself because no one else will. Because I allow myself to feel, I allow my heart to alert those tears which fall upon by thighs which are eternally scarred but only I can see. My heart hurts because its only used to send messages of pain And Im scared i'll continue to hold myself, in the corner of these bathroom floors because After the guys get done, and they've gotten what they've came for. They'll leave what they don't want. A girl in the bathroom, crying, in the corner...

“Though largely ignored in America’s popular history of World War II, Black women’s important contributions in World War II factories, which weren’t always so welcoming, are stunningly captured in these comparably rare snapshots of Black Rosie the Riveters.”

I’m starved for connection, not attention.

“I am black. I am a muslim. I am a woman. America doesn’t root for me. But I root for an America. A greater America. Not to make it great again. But to make it great for once. America needs to root for me. Because I am America.” - Maryama A.

Most important lesson I learned in the past year is, don’t let anyone turn you cruel. No matter how badly you wanna give the world a taste of its own bitter medicine. It’s never worth losing yourself over.

Im also very tired of people saying im not working hard enough. I go to work 6 days a week. I work about 40 or more hours a week and I work with a designer on the side and run my fashion blog. Im writing and researching about 3-10hrs every day just trying to better my craft for what I want to do when I move to New York. Im always working. And then people have the fuckin nerve to tell me maybe what i’m doing isn't right maybe you should work two jobs like bitch I owta go the fuck off on u. I work so fucking much and so fucking hard. And  I know its going to pay off. Just not right now.

what happens when you follow the formula for success and you dont get it?

What happens when you graduate hs, go straight to college, get out with debt and don’t get a job inside your field and you still make $11/hr?

 Im more upset that I thought this was the way to live life. But at 18 you’re doing what you thought would be right. Props to those who knew better. Im just over it.
