Offensive


Words people throw at you like a bone.
When done to them, they feel hurt and confused.
Judgmental humans jumping to conclusions without knowing the truth behind it.
"All fun and games" turns into "Stop saying mean things like that."

What the hell is wrong with these backwards people?
No one likes feeling the wrath off of anyone but it's done to us without it being heard.
Our hardwork and efforts going unnoticed
Striving to succeed is ignored
Discriminated for the color of our skin, the way we dress, and how we conduct ourselves.
"If you don't have nothing nice to say, you should keep your mouth closed."
Hmmmm...seems very hyprocritical to me.
What happened to encouraging "Freedom of Speech?" 
Words hurt more than to be physically abused.
Any abuse should not be tolerated but what can we do? 
Social networking is taking over for the worse.
People jumping the gun by spying on your life, running and telling others falsified information just to make themselves feel better seeing others suffer.
It brings me joy to know there are those who pays attention because they give every reason to get rid of them.
Life will remain the way it is if you keep surrounding yourselves with the kind of people who kills your mood.
You deserve better.
You deserve a better YOU.

Onyxbliss

Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York on a winter morning in January the 15th. Once a baby known for her colic of hell has grown into an inspiring young African American woman. She is a poetic metal head who is currently aiming high as an Early Childhood major. Her success so far is nowhere near over just yet. Her words flow with ease like a Summer's breeze. Don't be afraid to enter the mind of Onyx Bliss, also known as Talaya. You may be amazed or afraid or even worse offended but keep in mind nobody has time for any ignorance you may spread. She is not here to impress but to express to relieve some stress off her mind. Most of her words may not rhyme but guaranteed she will remain strong as her dream of becoming a poet will soon hope to come true.
