BATTLING WITH MY IDENTITY.

BATTLING WITH MY IDENTITY.


It's not a rap battle it's a Plainfield.
Everyone's fact has the right to fly.
It mustn't be high but it must be heard.
The general public has shut us up, made our voices unheard because we don't fit to be seen or to be heard.
To them perfection is not a lie but the process is filled with so much bull.
The stereotyping has gotten to the limit.
Well that's what I thought until I heard
'A woman's place is in the kitchen'.
I get it some people act someway and dress someway.
It's fine but still, it doesn't give you the right to stereotype us because of the way we dress or the way we act.
Well somebody did coin the saying
'The way you dress is the way you are going to be addressed'.
But let's be honest the way I dress doesn't reflect my heart I can be a witch inside a sheep clothing but our narrow mind will call me perfect because of the way I dress.
Then you hear everyone saying
'They really did say don't judge the book by its cover.'
I'm not perfect neither am I decent - enough - I make mistakes and that is human but I can't let you stereotype me because I wasn't showing enough skin or I'm showing too much skin or because my hair is fake or my hair is too natural for you.
The society needs to change we need to stop stereotyping children, stereotyping others.
Yes he got tattoos that doesn't mean he is in a cult or he's a thug.
The people before us came and placed rules that were in so many forms wrong and now we still follow them.
I'm not perfect but my imperfection makes me decent enough to be put in that box but I'm not stereotyping can't do what narrow minded individuals do.
So NO I'm not perfect I'm just a girl who is taking every day as they come because I can't predict the future and I don't believe in You Only Live Once.
I live everyday with different adventures under my belt.
You should do so, work hard, believe in yourself, act right and don't let the world predict who you are because you are the only one who knows who you really are you are the one who knows your heart and you're the one who's going to define yourself to the world.

"Let your flaws speak truth but don't hide your true self because the world can't handle it"

IT'S OKAY, HE GOT IT.

IT'S OKAY, HE GOT IT. Sometimes I feel alone  The pressure pulling hard I feel like giving up  But the shame that comes with quitting stops my hand  I thought the burden will go with time  I fought like my life depends on it I pulled the rope from under the bed  And tied it tight around the neck  But the thought that the world will laugh at my pain  Made the rope drop to the ground  I thought to drown my self in work that always seems to work right? Then the choice of getting the pain from another source came knocking and I dragged that knob like my life depends on it. The door for physical pain opened wide and I took it The cut sensations were painful at first but with time it became a habit. I tore through that skin like it wasn't mine. Hurting the skin like it was the cause for the pain. The smile was permanently on my face. Everyone envied me. 'Why is your life so perfect'  I always thought perfe...

THE SYSTEM WE RELY ON THAT'S NOT WHAT IT SEEMS

THE SYSTEM WE RELY ON THAT'S NOT WHAT IT SEEMS.  Have been going round round in my thoughts, thinking about the fear we face and why we hide from that fear instead of face it head high. I look at people who speak up and I'm so proud because to be honest, if I were in their shoes I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to. I hate when people ride off things they don't understand instead of try to understand it to put up a solution. I was privileged to see some documented footage on the ongoing investigation concerning this sex for grade issues. And they all just bring tears to my eyes. Have never been a victim for some reason best known to me and God but I know those who have. I see how scared they are to go to the offices of lecturers because they don't want to be molested physically or verbally. I always thought it was just the men who attempts this unruly behaviour but it was brought to my notice that women also do partake of this sinful act. No...
