What if one day, when we thought we had it all together, we were stripped of that power we thought we had? What if you were tossed a complete curve ball? As humans we want control, doesn’t matter where it comes from. We try to control everything from games, to TV, to food [calories], even the natural state of our hair. - Side note: By "our" i really mean black women. There is a specificity to the internalized racism of the black woman (like myself) who straightens her hair to fit with mainstream white society. It cannot be challenged , extended, or duplicated. It is specific.
And when we can’t get our fix with those material/ inanimate things we turn to people. There is in fact something sick and twisted about people who're obsessed with control.
It,You
it was you who tore nails down my back
punctured my ribs
you wound me up, pulled my puppet strings - and even danced on my grave
It,you. It is you.
Message: you.owe.me
& i think we're both glad we're away from you.
