Obligated
We hold them accountable. Actors, sports stars, musicians, politicians, we hold all of them accountable. They have a voice. They have an audience. People listen to things that they have to say.

Mr. Officer
I'm a black man that grew up in an inner city. I'm also of a certain age. So, I've lived through a gauntlet of feelings towards you. I remember when you were everyone's hero. When everybody looked up to you. When every kid wanted to be you when they grew up. When you were a pillar of our communities. When you were loved and admired. When you were considered a hero by most.

Two Mothers
Dear Mother, I didn't understand. As a child I wanted you to leave my dad. I loved him but I felt like he wasn't being the best father or the best husband.

So, I never understood why you just didn't leave.

Beautiful
The barn owl is a beautiful creature that I've loved and admired my entire life. The mixture of colors from grey to brown. The black speckles throughout its body. The beautiful heart-shaped face. The way the pure whiteness of its face distinctly separates it from the rest of its body. His long, beautiful wings and cute little square tail.
