    Idk why I decide that 2 in the morning is a great time to listen to poems like this and have tears leak from my eyes with each one. I’m so empathetic that I just get pain and tears even if I haven’t experienced these things because I understand them. And even though it hurts I continue to watch these videos because they not only make me cry, but they make me smile and laugh sometimes too and I sometimes feel like I just need to *feel* so this is what I do.

    This was funny at first, but the end part touched my soul. My mama (grandmother) was the greatest person I have ever known. The way she walk, talked, laughed, and nagged me brought me nothing but joy. Lord knows I miss her. oh he knows. he knows. he knows. I can't count the days I spent regretting I couldn't show her the man I wanted her to see.

She is still my best friend... we’re both in the 7th grade, been besties since 4th, I’ll tell you, black girl magic is what I love, I love the color of her skin and when she brings me snacks cause she knows, just KNOWS when I’m on my period, and i do for her what she does for me. 1 more time for the people in the back, I live black girl magic.
