I was built from fire, shaped by truth, and wired for purpose.
But nobody really gave a fuck!
If you don’t give a fuck, you don’t have any room in my life.
I’ve been holding this in for a minute. Now it’s time to speak on it.
I find it crazy how mf’s clown Kanye for opening up about his real traumas—family betrayal, his mom, the public beatdowns, the mental toll. The crazy part is that the same mf’s yelling “mental health matters” turn around and meme the man when he’s raw and unfiltered.
I say that because I live it.
I served. Came back different. Tried to speak on what I went through—nobody listened. Some laughed. Some used it against me. Made me think for years that my pain should only be suffered in silence. Like my truth was too loud for people still living in lies.
I’ve lost brothers. Watched people I trusted switch up and put knives in my back. Still stood up. Still kept moving. Now I’m watching the same world that mocks me do it to him too. Just proves that if you ain’t playing this fucked up game, the false consciousness will try to silence you.
fuck that!
I’d rather be real and misunderstood than fake and accepted. I stand with the ones who speak truth, even if it burns all the bridges in this fake ass world.
be me
PTSD vet
deal with VA
get lied to, stonewalled, gaslit
have to fight tooth and nail for basic benefits that I earned
watch other vets give up or get screwed
call out the system for what it is– corrupt, bloated, and toxic
some dude flexes that ‘it works for me tho’
I snap
not because I’m wrong
because I’m tired of watching the system bury me & my brothers
I’m just saying what no one else will
it’s not broken– it’s built to break you
