They say you’ll get what you want if you say what you feel. The truth is no one wants the real you, you stop telling the truth, you lie to your friends, your family, and everyone who says they love you. Because guess what? They do it too. They only want pieces and parts. They want to pick and choose; that laugh with that smile, that pic with that confidence, that girl with that willingness, but no, not that one. Be hashtag blessed, because he’s sweet, he’s perfect, and you should be grateful. Because everybody is watching, and it’s only a matter of time before you fuck it all up.
This is your world. You built this. If it’s too strict, tear it the fuck down, but don’t look at me. Don’t take your hate out on me I just got here. And I have no clue where to go because from the moment I arrived all I was ever given were orders.
Smile. Open up. Cross your legs. Spread your pussy. Speak softer. Scream louder. Be quiet, Be confident. Be interesting. Don’t be so difficult. Be strong. Don’t fight back. Be an angel. Be a whore. Be a princess. Be anything you want to be, even the President of the United States of America. Just Kidding.
You do not have to be muscular, fit, toned, have clear skin, a big penis, listen to rap music or hip-hop, you don’t have to be a “thug” or be tough, you don’t have to be aggressive, or demanding, you don’t have to fit into this tiny little box the world has told you, you have to fit into. You can read books, play video games, have acne, eczema, stretch marks, you can be yourself. Do not think you aren’t a man or a “black man” if you don’t look or act a certain way. You are just as worthy as anyone else. Don’t be so hard on yourself. You are loved.
