I just
I feel so angry
like I might just explode
my dreams have been so vivid lately
I just wish that I could have a nice real conversation
with a man
without him being disrespectful or being manipulative
is that so much to ask ??
Its like for so long I denied the reality of the world
because I only wanted to see the good in people
but now the more that i heal
the more that i see alot of the real ugliness of the world
and I wish I didn't have to see it
but because of my life experiences
I can't unsee it
I feel it is my duty
to speak out
publicly
against the violence done to young women especially
and the pain we face
yes it is so hard
and being a smart confident women
people try to tear you down sometimes
but I don't want to hide away anymore
I want to shine brightly
make a difference in the world
no matter how small
heal have a relationship that is worthy of me
and my presence
and have meaningful friendships
Is that so much to ask?
I know patience is a virtue
but it feels hard lately.
