I am depressed, due to lack of emotional, mental, physical & financial support.
I hate & regret for being part of my culture & religion,
because they encourage my pessimism &
that is not fair, because i want to succeed as a young up & coming rapper, producer,
promoter, entrepreneur & community development worker.
I am suppressed by their thoughts, because in my world they encourage hate.
Hence, i don't get a chance to express myself...
I am losing weight for this mater & that is not fair,
because i was not born like this.
Things like this kill my spirit as a human being, because they don't confront me
& i don't know why, because i have a right to succeed.
It seems as if they are jealous about my achievements,
because they don't compliment & congratulate me when i achieve,
but instead they choose to hold grudges for me, which results to hate speech.
In other words they don't treat me like a human being.
