Thank you, mom, for being a great mom. Thank you, mom, for leading by example. Thank you, mom, for not bringing any strange men around me, and letting them live in our home. Thank you, mom, for not looking for love in all the wrong places. Thank you for choosing me above a nigga. Thank you for not being a pickmeesha. Thank you for not being more loyal to niggas than me. Thank you for being supportive of me. Thank you for your unconditional love. Thank you for not abusing me as a child. Thank you for loving on me as a child. Thank you for not becoming a sociopath due to this hostile, racist environment. Thank you for not allowing niggas to beat on you. Thank you for not weaponizing childhood issues to mistreat, bully, and harm other people. Thank you for not allowing sexual assault against you at the age of 20 to break your spirit and turn you into a sociopath. Thank you, mom, for passing down your DNA to me. Thank you for being a loving person. Thank you for not becoming a bitter old woman. There are far too many bitter and hate-filled men and women. Thank you for not betraying me. I am the woman that I am today, because you were the woman you were yesterday. Thank you for teaching by example to not tolerate abusive assholes. Thank you for never allowing me to see a man put his hands on you. Because of you, mom, I've never allowed niggas to put their hands on me. I will never marry a sociopath or psychopath.
