Why?
Why do I hate being around people for so long
And better yet why do I hate when people want to be around me?
Why do I strive to run to darkness instead of the people who want to bring me light
Life’s like that
We twist and turn from the things we should want and instead run towards what kills us inside
From lust to hate, sorrow and discomfort, we run to things that can only fulfill itself
We ...
(TW: abuse kind of, based on a real experience. If your parents made you think being hit and burned was normal, call someone and tell them. You won’t be seen as a burden and your not overreacting. Sorry if this doesn’t match the prompt)
Four kids, maybe five
Fell into our own demise
“Father!” We all cried
The man who we all thought cared
Was always a bad nightmare
Bri, Jada, Mila,
Watched our ...
A few drops of rain turned into a raging, thunderous, torrent.
The dark clouds cleared from the sky, the rays of light flickering into a kaleidoscope of magical assortments.
Sunlight peering between the trees, I could feel it from the tips of my leaves, to my deepest roots, they were most absorbent.
My roots began to shoot through the soil in the deep earth of your forest.
Flowing from your...
Your roots to your family are what made you who you are. Even if that means being nurtured and cared for, growing your leaves strong, or if that means the scars they leave on your trunks, your background will affect your values.
I was raised being taught the importance of honesty and hard work. I was taught that you’ll always get caught if you lie, and that owning up to your mistakes is the best....
Breathing in smoke all around me
Cover my mind
Feeling ur hands close around me
Ruined my life
I watch bridges burn every time I write
I won’t let my world burn down in front of my eyes
I was hoping you would be on my side
Who needs love
My heart beats to the beats I make
You’re family didn’t know family meant snakes
Wake up just to be in a terrible mental state
Poison slithering in my ve...
Life on Earth has its root,
Important for it to live on.
Child helps a person in need,
Very small thing but shows the upbringing.
To be respectful nd kindness,
Since a little kid.
Along the journey of life,
We uphold.
Love the little ones,
Helping them across the road,
Listening to them with patience,
Giving them what they deserve;
They’re the future of humanity.
Along the journey of life,
We up...
My roots I hold within me
Adorned by my melanin
Pure organic beauty
Many are fixated upon my excellence
Golden gleam in the sun
As my brown skin glows
I am the essence of beauty
That society doesn’t disclose.
Everything remarkable is made by the hands of brown skin,molded into what is known as as perfection.
To all my beautiful black brothers and sisters.

In the richest soil, uprooted flourished trees of all shades of the seasons.
Sweeping colors of brown and green
Pink and yellow.
Beneath all the rich soil, laid deep-rooted
Withered and frail
Dull tree
Instead, it watched
As others were being played with by children
Supporting the littlest of nests and animals
And flaunting their vibrant leaves.
The withered tree soaked in awe, using the litt...
