getting inspired again, anyways, enjoy (
I cried for Robyn, I cried for giving up, I cried for everything under the moon and back and yet after that I cried some more. Finally I felt something inside of me snap and it made me stop crying. What I felt was anger. I was angry, hell I was pissed off. I was angry at Pulitzer for ignoring us, I was angry at whoever killed Robyn, I was angry at Doll Face for abandoning us, I was angry at everything. I tried to keep it from consuming me whole, but I failed and all I felt was anger. Anger that gave me strength, anger that gave me courage and anger that made me stand up and declare as loud as I could that I was mad as hell and I wasn't going to take it anymore. I knew that I had let down my girls and the only way to get their trust and faith back was to do something drastic. I ran as fast as I could to where I knew Doll Face and her friends would be hanging out. At first she just looked at me, and then told me to go away.
"No. I will not go away." She looked shocked. Hell I was shocked; I didn't understand where this was coming from.
"I said GO AWAY!" Doll Face got closer to me.
"No, I will not go away. Not until you hear what I have to say."
"GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE! I don't want to hear a thing you have to say. We left your little strike for good reason, now get AWAY from us." She pushed me and I moved backwards a bit but regained my stance.
"Robyn's dead. Robyn's dead because we pushed the wrong buttons. Do you want to know why we pushed the wrong buttons, because I wouldn't listen to anyone. I didn't listen to you when you didn't like the way things were going and for that I'm sorry. Telling you to leave was wrong and again I'm sorry. I made a huge mistake because we need you. We need people with ideas because frankly I've run out of them. I have NO CLUE what I'm doing anymore. I don't know what to say to people, I don't know what the next step should be; hell I don't even know where I'm going to live after tonight. But I do know one thing. We all started fighting for the same cause. We all wanted to be treated as equals and I know that hasn't changed, now will you stop being so stubborn and come back with me?"
"You think you can just come here and give some meaningful speech and that'll make us just flock back towards you. Hell no. You didn't listen, your right. But how should I know that your gonna start listening now? How should I know that this whole thing will work out, how the hell am I suppose to believe you when you say that you want help? I don't believe you, now go away."
"I understand you don't believe me and that the last thing you need is for someone to tell you what to do. What I'm saying is I know I was wrong, and pigheaded and I am truly sorry for that. But now I need your help, and your friends help, and everyone's help, including the jackass Jack Kelly. I need help to win this, we need help to win this and we can't do it without you. Please join us again." I was out of breath, I was out of words, and I knew soon enough I would be out of time. Doll Face stared at me for a while. Then she turned around and started walking away. I put my head down in defeat.
"I'll think about it. If I show up tomorrow count us in, if not never come to us again." With that Doll Face and her friends walked away. I turned around and started walking back to my girls. I needed to talk to them, I need Jack Kelly's help, but most of all I needed to get justice for what had happened to Robyn.
