i got drained so hard last week (it went deep)

i won’t even hold you but last week drained me dry.
i was at an empty and the only way i could get a refill was to step away.
has anyone noticed the forests have been non-stop confusion lately?
since __________,
we haven’t had a break or a moment of peace.
if it ain’t been this; it been that.
so last week,
you all know we witnessed a(nother) murder for the forests to see.
i was pretty indifferent to it but what really drained me

was all the masks flying off,
especially from people in my life,
and including other black folks and minorities in my life tbh.

having to realize that many of the straights aren’t true allies,
many are actually stupid,
and many of them don’t live in the same timeline as i do.

“i agreed with some of his takes.”
“some of ya’ll don’t have any humanity.”
“i don’t know much about him but…”

we had people who were exposed that confused many of us.

…or maybe we shouldn’t be surprised?
and then to top it off:

if you say anything bad about the individual,
you will face consequences.

i dunno but it left me feeling
sad?
depressed?
annoyed?
in a state of disbelief?

where the hell are we in this timeline now?
how far have we fallen?

and the most important question:

should we really start accepting this is the new normal?

lowkey: i hate we live in a forest now where when situations like this happen,
we see the true values of those around us.
