The Trap

Give me my flowers....Please don't wait til I'm dead and gone, to give me my recognition, I need it fresh off the stove, I don't want the long speeches nor the sad slow songs, give me a party as we celebrate me going home, I don't want the empty hugs between "friends" in my remembrance, I don't want that same line that is used over and over again, that "if you need anything please let me know", how about telling me you love me before it's my time to go, I'm so tired of hearing the "I wish I had one more chance to talk", when we take for granted every other minute on the clock, we rather spend our time alone because we're so caught up in ourselves, instead of picking up the phone to just holla at someone else, and when that someone else has reached their life's conclusion, we're with tears in our eyes hoping that God gets us through this, Give me my flowers....Maybe I'm out of line, but this topic right here

               Don't be offended. Just hear me out first. One thing I challenge all of my readers to do is think for themselves and form their opinions. You do not have to agree with me for these are my thoughts for you to see. As different topics pop up in the news from Kanye West to Bill Cosby to the never ending headlines of the President, a lot of us are being drawn into various arguments and opinions about certain comments. You're actually being forced to pick a side and you don't have to. Don't let the comments of individuals force you to pick a side. It's okay to have your own voice and own opinion. So many times I see people piggyback off of someone else's comment because everyone else is doing it. There's nothing wrong with walking alone. Believe me, at some point someone will choose to follow. Your opinion also will not always be the popular one. That's okay. At the end of the day it's about what you believe. As far as Mr. West
