- What You Need to Know About Me:
- Serious about my poems, essays and short stories! Quiet, laid back. Love a football. Crazy about basketball. Can't tell a joke to save my life but I don't mind laughing at one. Getting closer to God is my main goal. Raising my children to be responsible and wise adults is the key to my life. My art is what keeps me going when times get rough.

Today I Cried
the last time was
so long ago
i cant remember Y
i thought it was impossible
that my tear ducts
had somehow dried
but
today
i cried
i cried because
it feels like i live in a world
filled with ignorance
and guided by fate
i cried because
at 15
my mother was the victim of rape
accosted by my father
further trodden upon
by her beautiful ebony complexion
and neglect
i cried because
i was taught never to question my elders
but it was my elders questions
that lead me to suffer my mothers fate

You know what is sad in all this, the sentiment on this board is not about wanting to see justice, because frankly those on this board have shown they could care less about facts (not a single person here has seen the court documents of the case oth…
Because Sophia has made false claims! She said she won the case and that turned out to be a flat out lie! Why on earth would be you surprised she is now being scrutinized after misleading many?
you believe it because they say so? LOL! Name me ONE TIME where Sophia ever produced a court document about her case.
Well, that's what THEY are telling us, so we must BELIEVE it! We know this is the whole story, because THEY told us so, why would THEY lie? All of the information received on this case are from 100% accurate, objective and reliable sources, our very…
And you wonder why people view you guys as a fringe nutcase bunch? Sophia was going around purposely MISLEADING people into thinking she "won" the case. There are followers of this woman all over the net, fighting tooth and nail she ACTUALLY won the…
I guess none of you people have ever lost a court case! Do you realize that winning a court case has nothing to do with being wrong or right?
As a journalist, I have been taught to question everything! And it puzzles me as to why African Americans are so quick to question Stewart but not her accusers! So I ask you, how do you know this information is false? Don't respond with a reference…
