Celebrating National Poetry Month by reading a poem a day from my collections. This week it’s about love, love gone wrong, love lost and found, love that saves. I wrote Scribbles to remember why I write.

Revolution Ain’t: a Poem by Vita E

Revolution don’t look like what some people have tried to paint it. A bunch of happy trees and Bob Ross mountain ranges that we all stand on, Holding hands and singing “Kumbayah” while hierarchy sings “Burn the Witch” This magic is too strong for patriarchy to cast shitty spells on us, But some of us forgot to salt our houses, put that salt into wounds instead, And now carry that iodized internalized hatred into spaces, Instead of creating changes, we added fuel to flames that, Were never meant to do anything but burn us alive.

Revolution ain’t elders paying more attention to their pride than their peers, Letting ego be the one entity you let have space in the room, The eyes of your future being forced to see you as enemy, Calling me, “sister,” when it’s clear you don’t fuck with me like that. The goal of the oppressor personified in your bullshit rhetoric about how, “We started this shit, so you have no opinion.” Please….Spare me the words that I hear from people who’d rather see us dead. We come to you for guidance, for support, for understanding. In our anger, and our confusion, But you’d rather protect your place in the very game we’re supposed to be dismantling, Just cause you have the high score already….. What…. think they won’t unplug you too? Better take the red pill and wake the fuck up.

Revolution ain’t spending money on lavish hotels and open bars, While the future sleeps on the streets two blacks, I mean, two blocks away. It’s not inviting people who persecute people to receive praise for being the exception. While their armies raid our homes, kill their people, treat our Palestinian family as POWS. But instead of exposing their injustices, they were invited here. Here under the full protection of organizations that received hundreds of dollars a head, To take our ideas and sell them back to us later, likely for twice what we paid to give them away.

Revolution ain’t walking around the world like you own it, Claiming you’re just trying to save it, And receiving grants for casualties. Revolution ain’t silencing people you should be listening to, Because you’d rather hear the sound of your own voice. Revolution ain’t showing up to protests to call us oppressors, While the real enemy sits in a conference room protected. But it’s all good, cause our anger is your economy, Hatred is your hotel room cost, Chains are your pocket change, But I won’t be buying your bullshit, not from none of you. I’m tired of paying for it with pain, and the pain of our people. My revolution and the revolution of our people, all of our people… …..will be free.

Credit

Credit. People need to start giving artist credit, not only do we already get looked down on by everyone, everyone is always trying to tell us how to do our thing. They wanna tell us what to post, what's good and what's bad. They don't wanna pay us, especially the artist starting out... " yeah bro do this shoot for me for free but I'll throw a couple clients your way don't worry!" I swear if I hear that shit one more time I'll smack the shit out of them. You telling me you wanna use my work to advertise yourself and make money but don't want me to make money? That's selfish as shit. On top of artist doing work for free in HOPE of opportunities they also get robbed of credits. If you paid me to do a shoot then the photos belong to you but if I did it for free the least you could do is give me credit on the photo and I'm not talking about just one photo. If you post 15 of my photos I want credit on all of them or at least you asking for permission if that's okay. I'm tired of people doing fucc shit to artist and everyone just sitting back and taking it like a bunch of little bitches. IF YOU PROVIDE WORK YOU BETTER ASK FOR YOUR CREDIT OR A PAYCHECK #FreeBandz

So…..

You wanna date someone with a laundry list of mental illnesses, Or at least you don’t know you do yet. It’s the first date, or you two just met and the reality is, You’re in for some shit you probably never planned on. So you wanna date someone who sometimes feels the grip of their attackers in your hugs, Tastes the sting of victim blaming on your lips, Feels knives burn into their insides as your move inside, Feels the weight of a galaxy on their chest when you’re on top of them and then can’t stop feeling it after you got off. You unknowingly but willingly play Russian Roulette with a Trauma Survivor who happens to like kink and watch the insides pop out like a jack in the box when the move y’all been doing for the past week has a bullet attached to it, a sign that they’ve been triggered. Things you’re gonna need to know:

One. Saying we aren’t thinking clearly is fucking redundant.                  

We know we’re not in the right state of mind, and chances are we’ve known for a while,   Think about how easy it is to see out a car with a broken windshield in the middle of the winter while the defrost setting is broken. Think about what it looks like to know that there will never be a day you can call in depressed, call in traumatized, call in can’t call in because fingers won’t stop shaking and you don’t know why, Can’t call in to weak too move cause foods so far away and so close at the same time, Can’t call in spoonless, helpless, hopeless Call in every time I close my eyes I still see their face and hear their voice. We are not strangers to misery, we are the landlords of it, and it is never short on rent.

Two. We value the little things a lot,

Little Sleep,Little Food,Little Water,

Little Time Alone With Our Thoughts Because Thoughts Are Scary,

Little Time To Breathe, Little Room To Breathe, Little Desire To Breath, Little Things We Can No Longer Do Because They Remind Us Of Not So Little Things, Little Aggressions In The Form Of Little Letters Arranged Into Little Words On Little Pieces Of Paper Resulting In No So Little Of A Problem Because People With Little Minds and Little Hearts Have A Not So Little Amount Of Money And Want All The Space For Themselves, Little, Like The Amount Of Time We Sometimes Feel We Have Left… But We Also Like Little Kisses On Cheek, Little Moments Where Showers Feel Like Meditation, Little Hugs From Behind To Show How You Love Us And Make Us Feel Little In Your Not So Little Comfort, Little Thoughts About Doing Some Little Freaky Stuff With Some Not So Little Volume And Passion, Little Finger Wrapped In Little Finger To Make Not So Little A Promise, Little Increases In Heartbeat When We Think Of You, Ya Know, The Little Things. Know That We Have Little Knowledge Of Which Will Come Next, And That Sometimes They Will Come At The Same Time And MaKe Not So Little Shit Happen. So, Just Giving Ya That Little Heads Up.

Three. We are not your patient, so don’t treat us like one. Meaning we’re not against help, but that’s not always the reason you’re here. Yes, we’re here for you being here when we can’t get out of bed to eat and help us with food. But we’re also here for going out to brunch on a Saturday Morning Hangover and going to the bar that night to do it again the next morning. We’re here for you being here when a kiss is a nuclear warhead, but we’re also here for when it’s a full body orgasm and cuddle session afterwards. We’re here for when you’re here for when we don’t wanna be here, But we’re also here for when here is the only place we wanna be so, Know that you’re not on the clock, cause nine times outta ten we can’t pay you with anything other than love and gratitude, And then that bank isn’t always open or full, But the thought’s always there. We’re here for when you’re here for all of these things that are not so good, but we’re here for the moments when things are so wonderful we can’t help but smile rainbows and robot unicorns.

So you, you wanna date someone with a laundry list of mental illnesses, here’s one last thing I’ll say in advice:

If you wanna date someone like me, someone like us, hell maybe even someone like you….

It’s always a good idea to have this guide with you, but it won’t help on its own. Because the only way to know our story, is to read it, from beginning to end.

[Image Description: J Mase III standing in front of a microphone, with blue hair and a blue button shirt, and smiling in front of a red curtain. Blue Text reads: “My anger IS a productive emotion! - J Mase III] There is no freedom in playing polite with our oppressors about what they are doing to us. To any who may be feeling anger right now, know that it is valid, and there’s nothing that anyone can say to make it less. Moving forward, we can ask ourselves this: how do we channel it? What role does our very justified anger as marginalized people play in the future of this? Once we know the answer to that question, we can use our emotions, anger or otherwise, to affect change, as many have done before us. #artisrevolution #angerasfuel #emotionsaspower
