Renee Watson Quotes
I Know Something Happens Between The Time Our Mothers And Fathers And Teachers And Mentors Send Us Out Into The World Telling Us, "The World Is Yours," And "You Are Beautiful," And "You Can Be Anything," And The Time We Return To Them.
Something Happens When People Tell Me I Have A Pretty Face, Ignoring Me From The Neck Down. When I Watch The News And See Unarmed Black Men And Women Shot Dead Over And Over, It's Kind Of Hard To Believe This World Is Mine.
Sometimes It Feels Like I Leave Home A Whole Person, Sent Off With Kisses From Mom, Who Is Hanging Her Every Hope On My Future. By The Time I Get Home I Feel Like My Soul Has Been Shattered Into A Million Pieces.
Mom's Love Repairs Me.
