My Grrls turned 18 already ! Happy 18th Birthday, You Legal Fucks - Chigga & Skinneh.
& what are the odds - they're only 6 days apart while I'm 6 months apart from them. Chigga was bruised before her day while Skinneh was bruised after. & my academics got bruised in between. )':
They've come a long way in their lives just to see this day. Their own battles for survival. Their own limits pushed over lines they've never thought were drawn before. Their underaged dues finally paid for. Their strengths embossed on their sleeves like multi-session tattooing. Their weaknesses uncovered & embraced for mainly their own eyes to see, to believe, & for everyone else to awe, to admire. Nothing can hold them back now. Don't anyone dare step on their awesome sneakers. Don't anyone even think you can read their poker faces. Don't anyone dare to want to taste what they're truly made of & made for. Because then, for the first time in your life, you'll REGRET. & to top it all off, you mess with any of them, you mess with me. I may not go down with a fight like they do. But I'll tell you, I'll spit you a piece of my mind like how Eminem spits rhymes on his debut EP. I'll degrade you to the real shit that your Mom didn't want to acknowledge that you already were.
& well, on my part, I hope I did enough to remind & tell you both how important your birthdays are this year, any year actually, & how important they were to me.
