"Did you know that during the Iranian capture of the US embassy in Tehran over four-and-a-half decades ago, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini (1902-89), who rose to power during the 1978-79 revolution, ordered the freedom of Black embassy workers?
Identifying with their oppression in the United States, Khomeini viewed our people as victims of the US imperial system, rather than perpetrators of it."
I need to promise myself I shouldn’t cry over a
Man who didn’t love me back….
I shouldn’t…. I don’t have to shed my tears over him
Why should I? He doesn’t care….
He’s not thinkin about me
So why would I give a damn?
It hurts, it hurts so badly
You want love more than anythin….
I remember a lady told me stop cryin
Real men kill to be with you
No need to be sad over a boy….
Yes he’s just an immature boy in a grown man’s body….
She saw right through me, the heartache….
You know I should have a tougher skin
Than a huge dramatic breakup….
Cos that man who never care for me doesn’t
Have a single teardrop….
When I’m over him, he’s goin to come back to me
And it’s just a little too late….
I don’t wanna cry over a man
Who Is detached from me
I wanna be cool about it
Yet it does hurt…I’m not goin to lie
It makes me feel lonely when his body language
Says he doesn’t love me anymore…
I have to be ok with that…
Find someone who does feel the same way I do….
To me, it’s one sided
It’s unrequited love
The entire time…
People said he did love me
I believe them
Though his actions tell a different story….
So I promise myself not to sob over a man
Who ain’t mine in the first place
Cos he ain’t thinkin about me….
It’s the truth
He have no thoughts of my feelings
My heart
Ladies
Y’all need to keep this in mind
When y’all cry over your boyfriends/husbands who broke your hearts
They ain’t thinkin about y’all….
Trust me they don’t feel bad about their choices…
Though
I don’t know if I could keep a promise like that
To myself, cos I do cry over a man
I’m human and human feels pain
It doesn’t excuse me to let myself go
In a man’s space so many times where he doesn’t see
Me….
Friends mamas grandmamas aunts who have been through
This before with their own partners
They told young women that their former lovers ain’t thinkin
About them…it’s harsh but respectfully it’s true….
We cry over men who don’t imagine our faces in their minds
While fuckin another woman’s pussy…..
We’re their afterthoughts….
Real men don’t make their women cry
They don’t make them endure…..
They never take their empresses for granted…..
I say this
Find someone who never wants to make you cry
In your pillow…..Mr. Right won’t let you have tears
In your eyes, he can’t stand the kind of shit
Cos it would be so ashamed of himself for
Makin you cry….he will think of you knowin
He’s not goin to lose you….cos he loves you……
Go find him…..keep him
Honestly real love is truly rare….
If you cry
Go ahead and cry
You’re human
Strong people can cry
I wanna keep my promise to myself
Cos I know deep down
He’s not wonderin if I’m ok….,
Even if I try so hard to hold my tough skin,
It get thinner when my heart crushed by the mention
Of my heartbreak….

Karma
Karma
Is goin to get you
And you can never avoid her
After you made bad choices
After you justified
She’ll still be catchin up to you
You can hide from your consequences
All you want
Bottom line
She haunts your soul like a ghoul….
You escaped the truth
But it’s in your face
You know deep down
You’re truly wrong
Your apology to those hearts you broke
Seems fake, seems so downplay
And you don’t care
You want karma
You Truly want loneliness
Yet you start to wonder
Why is everyone not speakin to you?
Well
You gave people of your circle
Pain….lots of pain….
Ego and pride
Gives you the silence you deserve
Have you ever heard of
Misery loves company?
Well there you have it,
I know you don’t like the blunt
But you’ve been blunt all your life
Not just your words
With your actions are the loudest volumes
I’ve ever heard….
It’s part of your voice….
You can be lonely
You can be….
Is that what you want?
You truly hurt countless feelings
You even hurt your own….
You wanted the quiet
Right?
You wanted to have a discussion
With your shadow
Full of what if
And what have I done?
Instead of healin the parts of yourself…
You refuse to look in the mirror
and true colors starin back at you….
If you believe in god
Don’t put him into your mess
Actually he warned you not to
Shatter souls but you did anyway
Just to keep arrogance in tact….
Here you are
You’re bitter
Hollow
Distant
Detached
Nobody wants to be near you
Not even your babies
Sad….💯©️ Kai C. 6-20-25
