Living in the Shadows (1.2)

Post that complement this post

Time went by
The months surely fly[ed]
All that could be thought of
Was the blossoming seed that was held captive inside
Of a womb that was almost held as a tomb
The one withchild
Was crushed on one side
As the young queen, towards the opposite wing
Remained and leaned
It was that moment
Nine months in
Lady and Man
Believed it was time for the pregnancy to come to an end
JMH, where all her previous fruits been uproot'd
There they raced
And by doctors was [sunt] away

Living in The Shadows (1.1)

k-oz in the air
everyone screams
as she walked - she never dreamt this to be
before she was even able to make that final step
from the sidewalk unto the street
crossing it was the goal that she wanted to meet
he jumped the curb
the impact was intense
in the air she went
amongst the car she slammed
the smell of rubber travelled throughout the air
the screeching sound - man could not bare
he slammed the breaks
she rolled off and landed on the pavement
what more can be said
by-standers came running to the scene
oh my oh my they couldn't believe what their eyes had just seen
a lady withchild
third trimester
how on earth can they have both survive
the neighborhood is at an uproar
phone calls are being made
sirens everywhere
yellow tape
people couldn't bare to watch
at the train track
right around 71st up to be exact
how can he continue on with the thought of what just went down
body bag is being placed
why on earth did she have to go out today
school sign-up for her other child
a mother of three who blossomed within her another seed
now being taken away
no form of vital been displayed
straight to JMH
time to operate
yes
she was pronouced dead

Dark Child (1.1)

Post that complement this post
******************************
I remember laying in the hospital bed. There was so much going on around me and I kept zoning in and out. The nurse was talking to someone, a man. This someone I later found out was representing me, but that was weeks after today. After the nurse left the room, he stayed and stood by the door just watching me. More like staring at me. I didn't like it, not for one bit. It made me so uncomfortable. Everytime I looked at him I started having these heavy breathing. I felt hot and trapped. I was getting frustrated for nothing. I hated this feeling. Hatred grew within me and I started to stare at him as if my eyes could have delivered the act of death upon him. I was full of fear, hatred, frustration. I couldn't breathe. I passed out.
My parents were in the room. They looked so disappointed, so angry, unfortunately, I read no sign of hurt or guilt. I didn't care. I was so happy to see them, so happy to see a familiar face. What I've just experienced was far more cruel than anything they ever put me through. All I wanted to do was go home. Yet something made me freeze. The way they looked at me, as if they were ashame. I didn't understand what just took place. I was so confuse, I was so hurt, I was terrified, I was in pain. I try to move and all of a suddenly I started to bleed. I screamed, I cried, I yelled mom. It hurted. My body ached. My vagina. The uncontrollable pain that I felt from my vagina and my lower abdomen. I got off the bed, I hardly could walk, and I was stumbling towards my parents. I cried. There was so much blood. For the first time I saw pity in the eyes of my mother. Tears ran down her cheeks as she yelled to me to stop walking, to stay where I was. She rushed over to me. She didn't care as she lifted me and told me everything would be alright.

Tha Hood's 'Sleep (Prologue)

Man, can't you hear the k-oz in the air. I'm not even gonna lie to you but the block is live. Everywhere I turn I see somebody doing and/or getting into something. Even when the atmosphere is crazy, you still could get that crunk, party, chilling type of vibe. It blows my mind though on how these fools could be tense and on edge yet still have a good time.

How in the hell I just passed these boys getting harrased by the cops and they gonna meet up with me at the park and try to counsel me.
"What's good 'Ma."
"It ain't nothing,  just maxing."
"Yeah, I feel you. You see that little shit that I got myself into, I saw how you looked at me when you walked by."
"Look it here man, I know how you get down. By the way, I don't see that shit. You ain't never disrespect me so we good."
"What you doing out here by yourself and looking like you wanna catch a case? Hold up, you good?"
So a couple more of his nigga joined. Conversation got redirected and was no longer geared towards me. I just sunk into the atmosphere, I needed that. I never told my peoples fuck it and just walk away. But I was so heated and about to lose my mind. Meeting up with these fool at the park actually helped ease my mind.

Dark Child (Prologue)

Sleep was okay today and yesterday wasn't that bad. I'm just so happy today's Monday. I'm so happy to be going to school. You just don't understand, I'm so hungry. I didn't expect school to be like this. I dont really fit in. Technically they said I was supposed to be five to start Kindergarten, so my father lied because I was only four.

< pause and thought to myself ... seriously, as if they dont have all the paper work for the next school year and if I'm turning five this summer they would still allow me to participate in summer school ... but whatever .. test my intelligence>

The summer was a hot summer like always, for some reason my household conditions got worst I wondered if I really was their birth child. Summer came and went, regular school started. Was placed in honors then removed for not enough space. Started given trouble in my regular class, wasn't being challenged. Use to tell the teacher I was smarter, I lead the class at times, just losing interest, my parents didn't know how to deal with me .... so the abuse, neglect took it turn for the worst.
