I heard their words, I felt their scorn
They made me wish I was never born
They looked at me with disgust and hate
They never saw the beauty in my shape
They mocked my body, they shamed my skin
They said I had no worth within
They measured me by numbers and scales
They never heard my dreams and tales
They laughed at me, they hurt my pride
They made me want to run and hide
They acted like they owned the world
They never saw me as a pearl
They wounded me, they broke my heart
They left me feeling torn apart
They thought they had the final say
They never knew I'd find a way
I found my voice, I found my power
I rose above their words so sour
I learned to love myself and grow
I showed them more than they could know
I proved them wrong, I proved them right
I turned their darkness into light
I used their hate as fuel and fire
I reached beyond their low desire
I am more than what they say
I am more than what they weigh
I define myself by who I am
I follow my own master plan

Money: My Ticket to Freedom?
When I was younger, I thought money was the magic key to everything. Now, I’m not so sure. Life seems to run on two things: love and money. But love can be a roller coaster while having some cash in your pocket feels way more steady.

The Block Mayor
Like every warm day, Terrence is finishing this day on his L-shaped porch, sipping whisky from a dented flask. Cars pass by slowly, and he watches young women pushing babies in strollers; he hears the neighbors’ arguments and knows which have a regular income and those who are unemployed. Terrence is the self-appointed block mayor, laying judgment on his fellow folk.
