"By any means necessary" - Malcolm X


Go look in the mirror.
Clean it, because your mirror puts the dirt in dirty.
Good, now look at it, and tell me what you see.
Well, I see a girl who has been hurt many times.
Keep going; dig a little deeper.
I see, a young black lady, light skin, medium height
She has brown eyes, and has a nice body shape.
She doesn’t trust anybody, or can’t be loved by anyone.
Why not?
Because everybody that has ever had feelings or loved her, walked out.
Why did they walk out?
I am assuming …
You’re assuming?
No, it’s because she chased them away.
Why did she chase them away?
Because every person that has been in her life, has betrayed, hurt, lied, or cheated on her
And why was that?
Because she settled for less instead of for more.
Okay, what else do you see?
I see a young lady that wants to be better, wants to be loved, and wants to trust people.
What else?
A lady that wants to be a leader not a follower.
Okay stop.
Why?
Because I want to know who is this person you see exactly.
Well.
Well what? Who do you see?
I see . . . . Me

I just felt that people should understand who their inner self was, and how other people along with their selves see them.
