truth is…

menopause is some bs. body turning against me. The truth is your mother won't have the capacity to answer your questions truthfully because she’s lying to her own damn self ignoring her own body’s vengence. truth is people want to live in the myth. people want fiction and strangers to validate them. You friends and family don’t want your truth. not the hard ones. They want theirs served soft, easy to swallow. Truth ain't hard. It's what it is. truth is no one got time for your blues so keep wading in them waters alone. This is what it is to be a Black and woman. On nobody's mind until you're gone. Gone in the head or from this world.
