#whereu

I’m in A toxic relationship with America She taunts, beats, and kills me Than ask me to love her Unconditionally... she has taken at will Slaughtered my fathers, brothers, uncles Raped my mothers, sisters, aunts Yet changed the story to fit Her Glory she gives me milk and honey Yet denied me the apple pie Tell me I’m angry Uncontrollable, voiceless Lazy, incompetent Than try to love me Bath me in the evening Telling me I too can be American dream Yet Only to remind me I’m hers So she can whip, Choke , chain, jail Me because of her lies... than praised in her eyes On MLK day and February Her toxicity has seeped deep Into my soul I forget what I naturally look like So I take the kinks out my hair wish I had blue eyes.. I walk in her shadow Because my view to her can causes me Death... America why U hate me And try to force me 2 love U #poem #whatleon #whereU #whatUdoing #onthewayUP #getitdone https://www.instagram.com/p/CBUcIp_BU3Yrv382mwIwFRU4KWF3kLRerztB9c0/?igshid=15a6vay4frm44

Well apparently you didn’t want to me as a F A T H E R. Maybe you had a deep hate for her to see a man love his child unconditionally. I’m not going to give you a history lesson on the ills because society knows them and we fear the day our children got to say my F A T H E R ain’t coming home. Our lives be short lived if it ain’t by some jealousy or the P O LI C E. They hate to see me stand in my natural crown like a son of G O D. Them thorns you placed on my head that dig deep into my brain that cause tears of blood but long as she see the love I ain’t complaining. BLACK Fatherhood Love U #fatherhood #whatleon #whereU https://www.instagram.com/p/CAc6VTdBCtNd7ePL5qAHCMK0qdQam9XUPdCO280/?igshid=1joysx3ezgq7z
