Gut It Out

A father gotta gut it out, no matter the stares,

They watching you struggle, but who really cares?

If the roof caves in, they quick to complain,

Even when you out here pushing through the pain.

Stayed strong, held it down, never took a break,

While they reaped the rewards of the moves I’d make.

Saved houses, sent smiles, gave vacations away,

But when I needed them back, they just walked away.

Nah, I’m not bitter, just lessons I’ve learned,

Life flips scripts, and bridges get burned.

At 51, yeah, I’m standing on my own,

On this journey solo, but I’ve grown.

They forget the nights you couldn’t sleep,

Worries too heavy, debts too deep.

But I carried the weight, I bled, I fought,

Still, they vanished like lessons never taught.

But I’m still here, heart full of fire,

Built from the ashes of my own desire.

No handouts, just these calloused palms,

A life redefined, calm through the storms.

So let ‘em forget, let ‘em talk, let ‘em leave,

I’m still building, still breathing, still believing.

Gutting it out, till the final breath,

Walking this path, I’ve got nothing left.

Just me and the grind, and that’s just fine,

‘Cause this is my life, and I make it mine.

Only need God the rest I'll deal without.

I just want to spread this post for that more people can read it, this amazing author named,Angie Thomas, wrote this book about Starr Carter who lives in Garden Heights but goes to Williamson high school, which is a mostly white school. Starr’s friend Khalil was shot and killed by officer 1-15, even though Kahlil was unarmed and wasn’t a threat at all. This story is not only about the death of Kahlil, but the struggles of all black children across American and how society and history has spread stereotypes among both the white and black communities cause Starr to have trouble being herself. Starr’s too afraid to act like herself in front of her white friends because she’s afraid to be labeled as, “ghetto black girl.” At the same time Starr doesn’t want to show herself to her black friends because she gets labeled as, “white girl.” Starr is even afraid to tell her own father about her white boyfriend, Chris because she feels as if she’s betrayed all African American men. This story goes deeper than any meaning, it lets us know what stereotypes do to others and how our expectations on others can be harder on people. This book doesn’t just point out the flaws of one society but two societies to show that not everybody is perfect. Please read this amazing, life changing book by Angie Thomas.
