You are to blame

Dear, Society 

Why is it that you seek out the worse in me and that you want my hopes to dies? Why is it that me an African American female must look behind her shoulder when she walks alone on a dark pathpath. You have turned the world against each other but yet here I still stand.

Society you have done my life no good but yet you brought me people who are know like family. The paint that you have enflicted has only made me want to fight that much harder but not with violence but instead with my words, because one thing you have yet to learn is that words are the greatest tools because they can move mountains and change a person but you don't see that. All you want to see is pain and heartbreak. 

I blame you for all the death and pain that has enter the world because if it wasn't for your views on the world or others then suicide would be at its highest.  44,965 that's how many people you have killed in the year of 2016 and its only been getting worse, yet you don't take responsibility for your actions because you don't feel as though you did anything. Social media was once where people went to connect now its where you help tare people down from the inside because they start to feel as though all of society is out to get them.

You have to fix what you started stop using your power to tear families and people apart and start using it to build eachother uup, you are the problem but you can also become the solution.
