Overrated

It's overrated,

My tears,my pleads,my scars,my fears...it's all overrated.

I cry , eyelid torn by a fist way bigger than mine but I mean it's overrated. 

My ribs are kicked in, blood spewing from my lungs but I mean you can't see it so I'm just being dramatic by gasping for air and crying uncontrollably. I'm really overreacting because it's normal for a size 12 boot to be on my face, crushing my jaw... Talking about it to authorities is so overrated

Stop salivating like a child ! Dammit! 

Oh nevermind, that's just blood gushing from  my gums . No big deal, I'm fine. I'm overreacting, too dramatic and pitifull...

.......

How are you doing???? 

I'm fine,

Silly me walked right into the sliding door and my face was flat on broken glass. Hahahahahahahaha hahaha

Sad thing is you believed me.

I'm done talking,  my pain is overrated for the ears that have normalised and eyes that have gone blind to what's going on around them.

I'm  tired

Handle it or knuckle it

Knuckle conversations

Growing up, with an abusive father and a loving mother. Quite a confusing mix for a five year old, I had a choice though. I had to decide if I'll use my knuckles to defuse conflict or walk away like mom tried to do for years.

A step into my teens and boy was it terrible. Reading saved me from breaking necks, daddy gene constantly popped up with every conflict.
Boxing gloves saved people's lives, with every argument I would walk away and punch mom's continental pillows. I got smacked for that but anyway, the ring is not what our generation is making it to be.
Boxing is a game, the aim is to shake hands after the game whatever the outcome.

Black History Month

By Refentse Makgamatha

So it's black history month,
The first thing I hear on the radio is "Beyoncé's father says Ms B is famous because she is LiGHT skinned".
Okay, that's not what Muhammad Ali, Steve Biko, Rosa Parks, Malcom X... Fought for!

Dear Black people, we need to stop being our own enemies. You don't see white people divide themselves in shades of pink.

Stop it!!!
