Calling Me Nigger

What do you really get
Out of calling me a Nigger?
Are you expressing anger
Because nature made mine bigger?
You called me out of my name
Just to gain a violent reaction
But I refuse to let hate win
And give you that satisfaction
And the you called me Faggot
Tried insulting me another way
But I held my peace and let God work
So no victory for evil today
The ignorance you showed is sad
And pitiful for any human being
And instead of disrespecting me
You should be bowed before your king
If you think that I'm a Nigger
I have some real bad news for you
Your King David, your Solomon, your Moses, your Aaron
And even your Jesus were Niggers, too
So keep shooting with your words
And cutting with your eyes
Because the next time you call me Nigger
You wont live to see the Sun rise

It was one of my proudest moments even though I didn't get to attend my own graduation (another story). I'm proud of how I'm dealing with my mental issues. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder years ago and it's been a struggle to cope with the ways my emotions and my mood changes. For the past year or two I've done well though. It's not an easy fight but I'm committed to beating this thing and not allowing it to ruin my life or my relationships. I'm proud of myself for starting a fledgling business. It's only a resume writing business but it's somethi...

I Miss

I miss falling asleep with his locs in my face And my hand rubbing across his belly I miss white seedless grapes, and Welch's Fruit Snacks And my favorite, peanut butter and jelly I miss all my music, Jill Scott and Badu Tupac, Outkast and Queen Bey I miss having windows, seeing the trees For real I must miss being free I miss Uncle Wendell, may he rest in peace I miss my girlfriends and my crew I miss Aunt Bert's breakfast, bacon, eggs and toast I miss looking up and seeing the sky is blue I miss all my clothes, my closet and my room I miss all my books and my art I miss seeing frames with pics of my family Even though they are etched in my heart I miss being able to walk to the store Or to the field to watch the boys and girls play I miss all the familiar slang and speech Like "jamk", "lightning bugs" and "Out the way" I miss everything and almost everyone My dreams remind me of it every night But soon enoug...
