I don’t know how much longer I’m going to survive. I feel like dying, but I’m afraid to die. I feel alone, but I’m surrounded by love. Death is in earshot. Needing me, craving me, embracing its shallow arms around me. Patiently waiting for me to let go.
I have taught myself to hate the only person that is needed for me to survive. I have ripped out the outsides in order to match the insides. I have laid it out in front of loved ones in hope to scare them off and with caution they have stayed. Each of them seeing something that the third eye was blinded to. If only I could see it. If only I could be it. If only I could lift myself up from my own hell. Fire pits and fireflies created by lullabies filled with lies. But it sounds so sweet coming off of my tongue. You can’t see wicked, but I wonder if you can taste it. Can you taste me? Can you feel the evil enchantment? The spell has been cast, but I believe that you can wake up. If you get from under me you can get over to something new. Once you stop inhaling me you’ll get the fresh air you’ve craved for. Loving me is just loving who I could be. And you see, I’ve taught myself to hate the only person that is needed for me to survive. I have shattered all mirrors, mastered the art of escaping my reflection. If I can’t look at me, who am I to look at you?
Love. What a word. What a language. What an action. What a movement. What a threat. What a killer. What a savior. What a need. What a want. What a risk. What a journey. What the fuck?
Here is a masterpost of MOOCs (massive open online courses) that are available, archived, or starting soon. I think they will help those that like to learn with a teacher or with videos. You can always check the audit course or no certificate option so that you can learn for free.
A new video released Monday titled “The Talk” compellingly tackles the impact of racial bias through the lens of black parents in America.
This video accurately displays what it is like to be black in America. It shows the conversations all black parents have with their kids to keep them safe and to encourage them to fight the racist society. And it’s heartbreaking that parents need to remind their kids that their “Black is beautiful”.Society needs to change and time has come to talk about this.
