Hugs - Mini Request

I know this is a weird request … and I am assuming that all 9 of the people that follow me will read this lol … but because I am feeling lazy today and a little down… Can someone look up a funny or cute GIF for me? *Hugs and Besos to anyone that responds* lol I won’t hold my breath but I’ll cross my fingers. :)

living too hungry to ever feel full

Looking over me and recognizing me as a bright child -

My mother smiled and remarked that…

I wasn’t made for the middle passage of poverty

living in a generation - with enough longevity to watch it hollow me out

and contort my limbs and bend me into submission

branded to multiple masters - some bearing cards, some bearing loans, stripping my bone for its last ounce marrow -

Its been drilled into me - that i’m property - and even my value is subject to variables beyond my reach

And yet still I seek the humbling horizon retreating into the distance

But anything seems like a promise land after every man I loved left me for God

Call me Mara now - for I am broad, embittered, betrayed and dismayed with my days that seem to be filled with endless tribulations

Child of many nations - made a slave -

Serf to field of Sallie May - Drowning in the Great Lakes - Where my Boaz knows no mercy - and taxes me as I glean knowledge from his fields of mirages

and when I run - I find someone has chained me down - and changed me now into an animal - a hungry animal

i know not how to be fed and satisfied

i know plates don’t refill on command

i know how to live by commands

i know how to survive

subsist on the last ounce of dignity to cross my lips

when that bitch - is me

Is my next paycheck - my sanity

sanatitized - compartmentalized emotions

ain’t no time for mental health

when my lack of wealth makes breathing unhealthy

burden to be set free -
