Chapter 3: Mississippi Woman
Being a woman is Mississippi is harder than you think
Most girls have at least one child by the time they're 18
Other girls are definitely not virgins
There's not much to do here so I assume that's why there are so many teenage pregnancies
Nothing to do
So just hump on each other
That's fun right?
It's so normal now for a girl to not make it to college
To not finish high school
Just go to work and take care of that child
But where is the father you may ask?
I don't know somewhere humping on someone else's daughter
But I'll take him back though
That's the mentality so many women have
No real sense of self worth or love or anything
Their fathers weren't around and all mama does is hump and have kids and put them on government assistance
Why not do the same?
I'll be fine.
Maybe even put the child in a special needs class just to get that check every month
But get a job?
Hell no.
Not when I can get this government assistance and hump on Brad
Have some more babies and get more money
Food Stamps, WIC, Stimulus check
You name it cuz I qualify for it
Go party every night with people who I call my friends but they ain't gon be no better than me
We all gon be the same.
Post on Facebook like im the sexiest thing in the world
But I don't make my own money
That outfit comes from the government
What happened to my sense of pride?
Why am I like this?
Why do I keep sleeping with these men and not going back to school?
I love to do hair.
It doesn't take long to get that certificate
Why won't I just get up from under Jimmy, get a job, and stop trying to hang out with people that don't want better for themselves?
Why am I like this?
Is this all I will accomplish in my life?
Will my children end up like me?
I have the body and mind to be better
To do better
Yet I don't.
There are people in the world with no arms or legs that do more in their life than me
I should be ashamed
I SHOULD BE ashamed
