38. I'm not asking for permission

To be a black person anymore.

I'm simply not.

If that gets construed as "She's just angry." - then so be it.

When I get angry - I get quiet.

When I'm quiet - ask my parents - that's when I'm most dangerous. That's when I think it's a good idea to use a homemade parachute to launch off of the garage - or to dump baking soda in a bowl of vinegar.

Nothing to lose - jump.
Nothing to lose - let the bowl flow over.
