I can't breathe!!

Soumyadip

(I, George Floyd,a 46 years old African-American man from Minnesota in USA.I am a victim of racism,let me share that incident!!) I am a citizen of the 'greatest' country of all,USA by birth.. I have no idea there is still existing racism in 2020 in this earth!! My origin is African but I am an American by heart.. I was stunned when he hit me and I was badly hurt!! Let me tell you the whole incident,I had gone through.. So, this kind of disaster never happen again to any of you!! I am a truck driver,I have five children to feed.. I just want to be paid minimal wage,that's all I ever need!! I still remember the day it's 25th of may.. I can't say anything but I will have to say!! I was trying to pay a twenty dollar bill.. The owner called the police cause he thought it's counterfeit,I was standing still! The police came ,I said them I have no idea officer,I didn't know it's fake.. That white police officer didn't listen he asked where did these I make?? I was shocked, please I haven't done anything wrong.. He said,shut up nigger, everyone of you sings the same song!! He handcuffed me forcefully and laid me on the ground! There were three more of them watching me by moving around.. Suddenly he knelt on my neck and pressed as hard he could.. I pleaded him to leave me,but he was very rude!! I said you blocked my carrotid artery, 'I CAN'T BREATHE' anymore!! He didn't gave me a shit, they didn't stop him,they all four!! I heard people standing there begging him to leave me.. After some minutes, he muttered in my ear,in the jail,there will be only he!! They took me in the custody charging me as a con-man.. I couldn't stand properly there, they through me inside the van!! I didn't realize what happened next,it was all blurry in front of my eyes.. The last thing I hear that he was shouting fuck, how could he die?? (The forensic later declared it as homicide and the reason is asphyxia, a condition where tissue die due to lack of oxygen..) Disclaimer: It's not a poem against white people or for just black people. In 2020, still people facing this issue really hurts me.. Always remember,'Every Life Matters'..This is a proof we all should be together..

Emotions/эмоции

shadowlinxxx morgan

ENGLISH;I am happy, when the sun shines bright and your smile is genuine.I am sad,when the rain pours down and your eyes flood with tears.I am angry,when you lie and are selfish.I am jelous,when you spend your time with everyone but me.I am excited,when I know I have a day ahead with only you.I am worried,when your promises are slipping away from my reach.I am heartbroken,when you prove to me I will forever be alone.I am scared,when my nightmares turn into a reality.I am lonely,when you walk away for good.I am so damaged,when you break my heart over and over again.. I am tired,when I feel all these emotions at once.I feel so alone,that I'm starting to like it that way.I feel too many emotions,and that's what makes me human.I feel things,and that is something I'm not capable of stopping.I am not going to hide away my emotions,because without them I mean nothing,with out them I am nothing. Lillian *Sorry about errors* RUSSIAN; Фамили счастлив, когда ярко светит солнце и "твоя улыбка искренняя". Мне грустно, когда льет дождь, а твои глаза наполняются слезами. Я злюсь, когда ты лжешь и эгоистичен. Я болею, когда ты проводишь время со всеми, кроме меня. Я взволнован, когда я знаю, что у меня впереди только один день. Я волнуюсь, когда твои обещания ускользают от моей досягаемости. Я с разбитым сердцем, когда ты Докажи мне, что я навсегда останусь один. Мне страшно, когда мои кошмары превращаются в реальность. Я одинок, когда ты уходишь навсегда. Я так поврежден, когда ты разбиваешь мне сердце снова и снова .. Я устал , когда я чувствую все эти эмоции одновременно. Я чувствую себя настолько одиноким, что мне это начинает нравиться. Я чувствую многие эмоции, и это то, что делает меня человеком. Я чувствую вещи, и это то, что я Я не собираюсь прятать свои эмоции, потому что без них я ничего не значу. Лилиан и моя дорогая подруга Фиалка Я скучаю по ультрафиолету LILLIAN xx

Why would you bully? Was that okay? Nobody helped me, Get out of the way. And i didn't cry. And i didn't lie. I just looked at you. With a fake smile. You could love me. You really could. But you didn't. You left me alone. And then i cried. And then i lied. I left my world, Without any love. Someone will need you. Someone will shout. Listen to the scream. Help the people live. ♡ Inspired by "13 reasons why" Netflix series.
