What am I

What am I? What purpose do i serve? I try to look inside myself to see what i truly am and all i see is nothing. I see a reflection in the mirror that i hate because i cannot accept what i am. I am nothing and i hate myself for not becoming something.

To see whats on the other side

I wish i could see whats on the other side. To get a glimpse of what is in store. To see if there is more to life than just this plane of existence. Yet to leave this existence would leave everyone i loved behind. But is it worth it in the end? Is the other side worth going to know or just to wait?

I am No One

I am a nameless face and shiftless form. i drift through life looking for purpose, but only see vast emptiness in front of me. I have only lived a short while but i know i am not significant. I will never be important or live up to my dreams. I am no one

Just one chance

i have let down many people in my life and you were the one that hurts the most. I should have been there for everything that you asked and never turned down an attempt to see you smile. But i did and no amount of crying and fighting can change that. There is something that i can do and that is to change myself for the better. I can learn from my mistakes and realize that your happiness is my happiness, your love is my love, and your smile is my smile. I try for that one chance to show you that i can be a better man, and i am working day and night to try a see a better man in the reflection of my mirror.

Brown v. Board of Education

On May 17, 1954, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Earl Warren delivered a unanimous ruling in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas. The Court stated that “separate educational facilities are inherently unequal,” and that school segregation was unconstitutional, violating the equal protection guarantee of the 14th amendment.

This 1954 civil rights victory, argued by Thurgood Marshall, overturned the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson decision establishing the “separate-but-equal” segregation principle.  The Supreme Court’s conclusion can be seen above. View the full document here.

The reaction to the ruling was varied. For example, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and Prince Edward County in particular, resisted the Supreme Court’s decision. The county closed its public schools (including the one shown above) from 1959 to 1964 to avoid desegregation.

When Looking Back

I look back on all the times i made you happy, watching your smile grow as we both grew together as a couple it always brought a smile to my face. But the times went on and i began to harden and become more stubborn and your smile began to fade. I became so hard pressed about what i did not like and what i would not do that i didnt realize i was pushing you away. I hurt us because i was too stubborn to be a better person. Only now by looking back do i see my faults. I need to change these faults of mine. I need to see that i can change, and not just because it is redemption, its because i need to change. I need to be the loving and accepting man that i know i can be. I need to stop looking back at myself as the perfect boy and look towards the future and realize i can be the better man.
