For colored girls
I understand for the colored girls who considered suicide. I understand what it means for them to be colored
what it means for me.I live for poetry
but there’s so many questions that are still unanswered for me.
I completely understand that these are realities for many women majority who look like me brown,black, and colored it happens every day, but still I have questions I’ve acquired from this story.
I don’t understand why the mom to me is so scared of life and why she uses her faith as a shield,
also why she lets it take from her daughters ,
and why she went quietly for years in knowing that her oldest daughter had been taken by someone who had taken her
I don’t understand why the mom didn’t save her children before the window.
why she let him intrude in not only herself but her children too why she nurtured someone dangerous.
I don’t understand why the woman blessed financially loved a man she knew pondered for the opposite sex.
so many things I understand and others I don’t that’s what scares me I feel as if this movie has really given me something but taken something as well. help me understand?
