#NO FILTER


A SINGLE MOTHER OF THREE

ONLY ADJUSTING TO THE INCREASING CHANCE TO BE

NOT ACCEPTING OTHERS PLANS FOR ME

UNADJUSTED TO FINER CURRENCY

IT'S NOT ENOUGH FOR ME TO MAKE IT

BUT I CAN NOT DIE

HAVING MY CHILDREN FOR THE TAKING

TO BE USED, ABUSED, BEWILDERED AND CONFUSED

INFLUENCED BY THE IRIDESCENT MUSE

FOLLOWING VIOLENT CARTOONS

EXPRESSING THEMSELVES EQUIVOCALLY TO WHO THEY ARE

DIGRESSING THEMSELVES TO FOLLOW UNINTELLIGENT STARS

GETTING LOCKED UP BEHIND PRISON BARS

REJECTING LOVE DUE TO A BROKEN HEART

I'M JUST A SINGLE MOTHER OF THREE

ADJUSTING MYSELF TO LEAD MY CHILDREN PERFECTLY

TO ACCEPT THEMSELVES AS KINGS AND QUEENS

BEYOND SOCIETIES EXPECTATIONS OF WE

<p>As a single mother of three seeking a better oppurtunity for myself and my children, I find it vital to lead by example. In my poem no filter, I express that because my influences were those things and I refuse to have my children repeat the same cycle. Thank you for reading.-Princess Hunter</p>
