Battle of Struggles

He said, "I will never really know the struggles of a black man." Well he has clearly forgotten that I have to be more than a woman. You see I am mommy & daddy to a beautiful little girl. I have to serve, protect and provide for her place in this beautifully crazy world. I have to be the father my daddy and her daddy didn’t have the courage to be. I have to carry that load all on me. Not to mention, in heels to ensure I’m still keeping my feminine appeal. With a smile and grace to disguise how I truly feel. I have to embrace my own desires later, whenever that maybe. Because I am committed to a greater cause, my family! And because I’m still woman and that first, they still too discredit me. Trying to conform and limit my abilities. So that man shoe, I have definitely filled. Because that man pressures, demands & etc I also feel. And not just second hand like smoke. As my journey includes different men with different strokes. So the struggle is far from sexist and that I can respect. In fact, the struggle is how and where we all can connect.
