On Death & Living
Many of my mornings are spent telling myself that I’m going to die some time today or tomorrow. Now, some call it crazy, but for me, it helps me to take risks and see what’s important. And mainly, it helps me to express what I really want to say to those I love before neither of us are no longer in the flesh.

Maybe It's an Introvert Thing
This dude I went to high school with, who now goes to the same university as me also, just tried to get me to go to a party tonight. He begged and pleaded, but I had to keep telling him “That ain’t my thing”. He didn’t understand that going to parties doesn’t give me enjoyment. And if I don’t see going out as worth it, I won’t step out. On top of that next...

In school, we were only taught about Martin Luther King and Harriet Tubman. Not about Malcolm X, Sojourner Truth, Marcus Garvey or even Nat Turner. No talk about Black Native Americans. So much history is taught to us as children, but as blacks, no one has ever taught us where we come from and the truths of our past. So excuse the fuck out of me for wanting to educate myself and gain some...

What is sleep?
That elusive distraction
Said to be so great & vital
That I miss out on the day’s beauty?
It is only when the all falls silent
And I sit in this Midwestern town
I find myself in tune with the restless spirit of New York
Only when the stars are flickering
Can the truth of my path be revealed
or the wisdom of the cosmos
speak so clearly
Only by way of moonlight

The Suits
Men in fancy suits
With white smiles
And seemingly sincere hearts
Sit in front of me shooting me a sale
Men in fancy suits
Send black men in fancy suits
With rehearsed lines
To sit in front of me and shoot me a sale
Merrily greedy men
Recruit naive children and hopeful graduates
And give them rehearsed lines & briefcases
To sit in front of me and shoot me a sale
Conservative white...
Why is that you can only think of all the shit you need when you broke?

Run nigga nigga nigga run
Singled out by the deep roots of my skin
The boys in the corner shoot jokes
Loud enough for my ear
One says “Know how a four wheeler starts?”
My heart senses something before my mind does
And they shoot
“Like run nigga nigga nigga run nigga nigga nigga run…”
Singled out by the roots of my skin
I reach inside of my coat
And those white boys got...

unfetteringlove:
This law says that in order to acquire anything in the physical universe, you have to relinquish your attachment to it. This doesn’t mean you give up the intention to create your desire. You give up your attachment to the result. This is a very powerful thing to do. The moment you relinquish…

I believe in anger
Rage may blind your vision
But it can also clear it
Whereas your view may have been rosy before
Once ignited with the flame of fury
You can now see a shit show for what it really is
In high definition
Posts posting weird and shit
I don’t get why my posts post all weird and shit. It is not in the fucking format I wrote it in. Anyone know how to fix this?

He went door to door, selling watches, sewn inside his trench coat.
He’d say: I’ve got all the time you could possibly need, extending those moments you want to hold closer and remember longer, hours that contain the sun, minutes that contain your smile, seconds that contain your lover’s touch.

Diction of a Slice of Life: Small talk →
raytart:
As a person who finds interest in only deeper subjects, I find it hard to make small talk. I get really paranoid because I would be thinking “Oh gosh, what do I say next?!” I realize that only INFPs would think this way. For everyone else it seems, it’s a natural thing to just talk. I guess the…

Hands without flesh reach for me
The night is still with black silence
My heart thumps in finality
Anticipating my demise in violence

Sometimes I wish I had nothing to lose. I’d nosedive straight toward love or death and not give a fuck.

Has anyone else ever read The Autobiography of Malcolm X and found yourselves absolutely infuriated after reading about the racist ills he described?
