Where'd me go?

The nights go by.
The sleep wont come.
I let out a sigh and know I'm done.
Where's the hope I used to feel?
There's too much pain!
Can this be real?!
I'm not me.
No not the person I used to be.
She found joy
in everything.
The shining baby doll
with a gapped tooth smile
with a loving spirit
that went on for miles.
She took a trip across the sea
to find the person she called"Me".
Not knowing Me was right there by here side,
Me tagged along for the ride.
Me got lost in all their hearts
and when it was time for them to part
they all took a piece of me home,
but she went home all alone.

OBAMA WON!!!

Finally a change! A great change for my people, for all people. MLK would be so proud. I'm SOOO happy. I've had to keep this under raps for the longest time since it seems that every one in my life is a hardcore MCCain/ Palin person. I had an older friend of mine tell me that people who voted for Obama were stupid...not knowing that I voted for him earlier that day. I'm not ashamed of my vote though. No way! My ancenstors have gone through way too much for me to be ashamed of it. I've gone through way too much. Everytime I wasn't casted in a role because of the color of my skin. The way that when I open up my mouth to speak most people are suprised to hear me for the first time because I don't use ebonics. Going through a store, being followed around just because I'm "Ethnic" and they think this means I'll steal something. I feel that with a man of colour in office we as a country will start making some changes and stop judging each other when it comes to skin color. Because my blood is exactly the same color as yours. It's red. I bleed just like you. I hurt just like you and I just want to live my life judgment free....just like you.

"WE SHALL OVERCOME!"
