Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

Inclined

It’s frustrating being a generational curse breaker 

Ion got nobody to look up to 

I’m on this back breaking, google searching “do I need a co-signer?” journey alone 

I can’t stand that I don’t have a reliable person to lean on 

Was I born just for the cute baby pictures and outfits that people love?

I’ll rather had y’all save that money to go into my college fund 

I didn’t wanna apply for fafsa and grants 

That’s too much work and yall got the nerve not to know what fafsa is? 

This shit is crazy 

I stumbled through all that to reach my mid 20s 

Instead of google it’s TikTok now 

The tips on there help me find a way out every time

Grateful that I grew my spirituality

Figured out that I’m always surrounded by figures 

Unseen 

People before me would call that blasphemy 

Actually they’ll run up on you

Without me even asking 

And yes I’m proud of that 

Grew up with no one really having my back 

At least that’s what I thought 

Cause it was never that

Love this poem! I helped my grandkid with fafsa, etc etc. (Really crazy, endless digital forms and accounts and apps and passwords. Enough to make an old lady pull her hair out!) Best of luck Arrianna in all your pursuits. One step at a time....may you always find people (seen and unseen) to help you along the way.
