Like a sack left on the shelf,
Don’t think I need your chattering.
I’m listening to myself.
Hold! Stop! Don’t pity me!
Hold! Stop your sympathy!
Understanding if you got it,
Otherwise I’ll do without it!
When my bones are stiff and aching,
And my feet won’t climb the stair,
I will only ask one favor:
Don’t bring me no rocking chair.
When you see me walking, stumbling,
Don’t study and get it wrong.
‘Cause tired don’t mean lazy
And every goodbye ain’t gone.
I’m the same person I was back then,
A little less hair, a little less chin,
A lot less lungs and much less wind.
But ain’t I lucky I can still breathe in.

My insides jump
Just the sight of you makes my heart beat faster
From afar, I see you beauty
And the vibes of your joy
It gives happiness to my soul
And a hunger to share your joy
The closeness to be your friend
To share mutual love
And an understanding to build a friendship
You are the definition of friend
The purest of them all
So I say thank you for not only being there for me
But for being my best friend!]]> 2017-05-03 18:14:16 UTC https://padlet.com/424161/mc9fjp9xhwbv/wish/169761594 Advice 424161 https://padlet.com/424161/mc9fjp9xhwbv/wish/170896407 Keep your back straight
Follow the rules
Never disrespect your elders
Or dress like a fool
Oh, there are so many rules
And so many people trying to give you advice
On things themselves slack on
As mother always said
"Don't take advice from a dirty fool

black,

Doesn’t mean
I cuss,

Doesn’t mean
I listen to bad music,

And doesn’t mean
I'm looking for trouble.

Just because I’m
black,

Doesn’t mean
I steal,

Doesn’t mean
I do drugs,

And doesn’t mean
I'm ghetto.

Just because I’m
black,

Doesn’t mean
I hate whites,

Doesn’t mean
I will go to jail,

And doesn’t mean,
I'm poor.

Just because I’m black
Why do people think I'm bad?
Why do people think I look for a fight?
Why do you think my color defines who I am?
DONT JUDGE
