Ghandi said an eye for an eye will make the world blind well lately I've been wondering if a soul for a soul would hold the same value
We've all been in that situation. We fear to say no to protect the dignity of the other while completely disregarding our own.
Teenagers just want to have fun.
Of course that would mean drinking,
But it’s just fun
I wonder if it’s just fun
Because I am Jada
Too many people know what it's like
To not be in control of your own life.
The one thing you own - that's totally yours
Is used and abused and left at the door.
Your first time is supposed to be a magical thing
I remember the first time we had sex.
How you asked me if we’d ever get the chance.
You said you’d tell me your “number”
As if that’d be enough to convince me,
Is there anything but
The harsh reality of today's world
To look forward to?
Children dream of
The freedom of adulthood
While adults yearn for
The ignorant bliss
Of childhood.
Women now adays are seen as "objects" not as the human beings we are treating us as were another "species." Do we have to dress a certain way or have a certain look for us to recieve the same amount of respect that we give you as men in this worl
He said I was fine
But I told his ass no
He grabbed my behind

The darkness and hatred, makes you sick.
But as much as you want to you can never forget.
We must spread the words, not use our fists.
It's not cause we're weak, it's cause we're strong.
This angers me.
The fact that an innocent 16 year old had to go through something horrible
The fact that she was unconscious and those jerks took advantage
The fact that they took pictures and posted them online
There were lights, and music, and drinks,
and people were swaying and laughing.
I'm sure it was late and
the drinks made your insides feel warm and
you did not expect anything more than a party.
I saw this image of this young girl who was laying on the floor,
I had to look closer and I saw she didn't have no clothes on,
I judged at first I can admit,
like what the hell is this?

I am strong.
I have courage.
You don't have to go along.
I won't fear you.
I won't try to please.
I'm letting go.
I'm doing this for me.
I won't be helpless.
You only see them laugh
But in silence they pray,
Please god,
Don't let me be the girl,
That this happens to today,
You'll joke about her pain,
Hashtag Jadapose,
Pretend it's a game,
I never thought
it would end like this
I gave myself
For nothing.
I can't believe
You would do this.
But I am
And always have been,
Stronger than you,
I will overcome this.
So this is how it ends?
I give you my trust, I give my time, I give you myself.
I believe that you only want what's best for me, that you feel for me how I feel for you.
