“Because I know what it's like to feel alone. I know what it's like to live in a paper world, to be good at hurting people, to think everybody should just shut up and do what you say.
And then I remember that deep down, people are good, everybody's trying, and nobody deserves respect just for being powerful.

“Because I'm a Black Woman:
They don't see me;
They don't believe me;
They don't give me a fair trial;
They don't give me a fair pay.
Because I'm a Black Woman:
They ridicule my appearance;
They don't protect my existence;
They hate my assertiveness;
They disobey my leadership.
Because I'm a Black Woman:
I bear the hardest experiences;
I receive the most harmful lessons;
I hear the harshest words;
I wake up immersed in swords, to survive,
and only to repeat the same for a lifetime.”

“Because I’m bald, right?”
She nodded hesitantly, trying not to hurt him,
Silence did the rest.
Bald = unloved. Simple math.
He fought it.
Creams. Pills. Surgery.
A year of becoming someone else.
The hair came back. Self worth didn't.
He knocked again.
“I'm not bald anymore.”
She looked at him, he’d missed the point.
“It wasn’t the hair,” she said, gently.
She took a step closer.
Just the truth standing between them.
"I almost loved you," her voice barely a whisper,
"But you did not."
He didn’t know what cut deeper —
Her words, or how she handed them to him,
Or the truth that had always been there,
Quiet in the corner, waiting to be seen.
It wasn’t the baldness.
It was the fear that he wasn’t enough.
And that’s what she saw,
Not a man without hair, but a man without peace.
For peace isn’t found in the fixing.
It is found in accepting
Your flaws, your fears,
And in the belief that you are enough.
Even if the hair never grows back.”

Because it’s the one place where I know that my success is mine, and my failure, too. In the ring, I might be facing an Irish dock laborer or an English tanner or an American freedman. When the bell rings, none of it matters worth a damn. It’s only me. My strength, my heart, my wits, my fists. Nothing I was given, nothing I took. I fight because it tells me who I am.”

“Because I'm superior in other things. Help me, and I'll...I'll fix your car out front. I'll change your tire."

"I don't believe you can do it," she said after several long moments.
I crossed my arms. "It's an eyesore."
"You have fifteen minutes."
"I only need ten."
