INVITATION
You see how slavery is more organized ? And game is more strategic to epitomize the social life of my God given right to birth, and be wives. But see, you need an INVITE to insult me you need an invite to impress me You need an invite to belittle me You need an invite to define me Because regardless of what you say or what you think, that freedom to take over and shrink me mentally won’t have a pint of my ink Because you need an invite to click my link. I am definitely on the brink. You cannot affect me unless you have an invitation. Exercising the first amendment is swell But do not step to me w your misogyny thinking you know me well, it’s thinning your cerebellum Just because I have a vagina, shouldn’t that be a reminder that you have a mother, shouldn’t you love her? This is all a reflection of you. You invited yourself to play yourself and repress your truth. You can kill us but we heal us. Carry the world on our backs We all know you secretly wish you were black
Keep up.
See what I’m saying is that this ain’t your party. You will never be invited to delicacy. Excellent minorities who are the majority, ruling and permanently imprinted in time Game fair. You can kill us but we’ll never be scared. Who is really here ? Who do you really fear? we invited you to peace We invited you to harmony But you burned the invitation w Trayvon Threw salt on Mike Brown Can you even say their names, where are they now? Putting our hearts up in smoke Killing our soul as soon as Eric Garner was choked Funny you can provoke, when provoke is a crime, history and time deaths invitation with inconsistent selection Slow down.
See, You need an invite to see me. You probably think that I am angry .. because I’m a woman with an opinion, typical. Well let me invite you to my world, reciprocal.
Keep up.

his is such a powerful piece. The way Evelyn articulates the need for consent and respect in how we engage with others, especially marginalized voices, is incredibly impactful. Her words resonate planet clicker game deeply, reminding us that true connection requires an invitation, not an imposition. The raw honesty and resilience shine through every line.
Your words powerfully highlight the need for respect and boundaries in discourse. It's a reminder that true understanding requires an invitation to engage meaningfully. launchtory
The raw power and unapologetic truth in this spoken word piece are absolutely breathtaking. Evelyn's words on resilience, identity, and justice hit hard, and her personal journey only deepens the authenticity of every line. I also really appreciate the clean, focused layout of the page—it truly lets the poetry breathe. I actually just used a quick gradient generator to recreate this same understated visual elegance for my own portfolio. Keep sharing your truth and never stop writing.
My friends and I sometimes use FMovies when we want to find something to watch together. It usually ends with us debating what to pick, laughing at the best scenes, and talking about it afterward.
