1/7/2016 0 Comments SocietySociety dines and wines on segregation and separation.
They speak of How one race has more than the other. How your neighbor is richer than you. Society complains about how your race is perceived in the media. We complain that no one understands the struggle of your race. But do you understand the struggle of your race? Were you on the hot plantations pickin' cotton and answering "Masta"? No, you were not, so stop claiming that you were. Instead of society standing on separation we should stand on assimilation. The assimilation that we are all the same. No color, gender, or nationality defines who we are. DNA defines individuals. Blood types, heart rhythms, brain patterns, and fingerprints "separate" us. Our color is less significant, because if we were burned beyond recognition, they would learn who a person was with science. Not how much money you had or wanted. Not by your education level, or the car you drove. Just science. Society does not stand on a mountain but instead on a active volcano. -Brittini Renee

Die.
I yell and scream to be gone and not alive. I reach for help and get denied. I am torn asunder by those I trust. Heart in pieces left in the dust. Die I stare hard at the bottle as it rattles. I pray that my only bear will not tattle. I slip them slowly over my bleeding lips. My heart dips. It flips with relief and regret. Die I should have tried it yells. It's not to late tell I won't go to hell! I grab the phone and call for help. Help I yell. OK they tell Alive To live another life to live until the sand disappers Flittering to the bottom of the life glass. Alive because I never wanted to die. 7/6/2015 0 Comments My Lips BleedMy Lips Bleed
My lips bleed From the tears I shed of Pain and Resentment My lips bleed From the countless hours of screaming in Agony and terror My lips bleed I'm crying your name with Regret and loneliness My lips bleed From praying to God Repetitively PLEASE LORD...GOD PLEASE! My Lips bleed From this Longing...to tell that My lips bleed My lips Bled -Brittini Renee 3/7/2015 1 Comment Artcopyblog.comI want to thank Brenda Haroutunian for the introduction onto her amazing website.

What if I’m loud? Black What if I drop out of school? Black What if I wear a wig? Black How about weave? Black What if I draw in my eyebrows? Black What if I do not know my father? Black What if I am a single mom? Black What if I receive food stamps? Black What if I ignore the stereotypes and live my life for me? A proud Black Woman -BrittiniRenee |
