Poems/lyrics The Bare Truth

Hey guys so I just wanted to share my thoughts about experiencing, watching, participating in, and the movement that is happening all over the i would love to use this as a platform where people can talk openly and share their experiences of how this has impacted them in any way or if you support what is happening. A safe place to do it. You can drop comments or upload videos of yourself talking about whatever it is you want to get across to people. I don't want any hateful...Continue reading

Embarrassed by the skin im in Because I do not want the privilege If it means that someone is less than me I'd rather be down in the village Not up in the castle with the power... Because I do not stand for what they are I kneel along side and raise my hand Angry its come this far Hidden from the books we learned from Like dirty little secrets in the dark I had to search for the real history After the hate I saw lit the spark I was ignorant to its existence Because I was not taught to hate But i started to notice the sideway stares When him and i walked in a store too late I noticed the people choosing different isles So they didn't have to walk past us I saw the looks of disgust And the uneasy lack of trust I paid attention to the righteous After I gave birth to my beauties It became a different position in this fight It was no longer a must, but my duty As my white skin may scare you I promise you I stand by your side And if I can use it to fight for your worth I promise to you I'll never hide If they won't teach your history in our schools Its fine, I teach it at home And if they make you fear walking down the street Its fine, I won't let you walk alone Until the very last breath I breath I'll fight for your liberty and freedom And ill make my voice so damn loud I wont stop until you all see them See more

This can not be the world I loved Born to privilege without even knowing Raised to not see color But the blue is harshly glowing I can not understand the hate... The profiling or the lynching The murders happening before our eyes While some aren't even flinching My heart breaks over and over Why couldn't he breath Because they saw him as nothing And he died by his murderers knee I cant not sleep at night Knowing this hatred is so prevalent How the fuck do you feel so powerful And make someones life seem irrelevant I am terrified for those I love That won't make it out without scars These humans are being hunted Murdered or thrown behind bars They have to fear leaving their homes And never making it back Not because they didn't try But they were living while being black I will never silence my voice Because justice needs to be served One way or another Karma will see they get what is deserved I pray to God he does something Before more innocent lives are lost The anger is brewing a tragedy I'm scared to see what its gonna cost I look at my beautiful girls Knowing I will fight any fight for their freedom There is no mountain I wont climb Just so equally people can see them Your hate will not get in the way Of making this world a just one The voices are getting louder Do you hear that...the begging is all done See more

You never realize how you sold yourself short Until you start to see the blessings instead So many beliefs I had back then By so many lies that were being said I'm finally at ease in my life... And it took unfortunate turns where it had to I had to make peace with my own At one point it was all I could do I own the shit I'm responsible for But I no longer feel enslaved to it Being constantly reminded of your "sins" By sinners that want me to take the hit I literally bother no one Because I like to be left alone But some cant seem to help themselves I simply stopped accepting a certain tone I'm only here for the time I have I dont let opinions live in my head forever described as cold and heartless But I just woke from the dead To be honest I feel too much Because I absorb all the energy around I pick up on petty so damn quick That my exit makes no sound See more

As much as it may kill inside I just cant accept less than what I deserve I'm changing old behaviours No longer accepting what's being served Attempting to achieve this grace... That I've searched for since birth It has always seemed to elude me Never trusting my own worth Content to hide in the shadows Because seclusion is what I crave I fear this world is not for me I guess maybe I'm not so brave The lack of humanity is spreading An outbreak that cant seem to stop When police are doing the crimes With no fear of being caught It terrifies me this is a world That wont accept my kids For no other reason then how they were born Privledge is a power that no one forbids I cant fathom this type of hate That condones these despicable acts Always accusations, Never any facts If everyone used their voice The power we would hold! But stepping up seems a challenge Most do not dare to be bold I'll use my voice till the day I die And condem these soulless sheep I'll never conform to attack my equals Eventually you will sow what you reap See more

I thought you were a gentle person with integrity and kindness Guess I should have seen it coming But I had hopeful blindness I hoped you were who you said... And I could always feel like you're home But now I'm without shelter And my soul just feels alone You were my once upon a time My smile was genuine and true I was able to take a deep breath And just breath in you I was sure this was forever My only hope of what I crave I started to thaw out Thought I was worth the save But that can only come from me My titanium cloak surrounds I give up on this thing called love That constantly beats me to the ground I'm tired of the disappointment I'm tired of petty games I'm tired of the lies you tell yourself That make you go insane I have to get back to what I know And always trust my inner demons Maybe they have never been my enemy But my inner voices of reason The days are a little dark right now But I have faith in the light at the end I have faith in my own ability To go it alone and avoid who pretends This is another disappointment One that I guess I foresaw Doesnt make the pain any less But I'm steady and will not fall See more
