This generation doesn’t
Want to have the same motivation as the last
They want to rise to the occasion
For there own wants and desire
They don’t want to prove that they can
Because they are black
But to be able to do it for the same reason
As the other races
Because they believe they can
Because they want to
Not because people before them worked hard for it
Though they still recognize the scarifies
But to prove to themselves
That they can
Because
They are there own person

&hearts; I&#039;ve made mistakes in my life. i&#039;ve let people take advantage of me, and i accepted way less than i deserve. But, i&#039;ve learned from my bad choices, and even though there are some things i can never get back and people who will never be sorry. i&#039;ll know better next time and i wont settle for anything less than i deserve. &hearts;
