Back Pain

I got back pain from carrying the back strain of a black stain on how the world thinks my history started with slavery. Im from a kingdom of kings and queens and things that were stolen from us, the main thing being our souls. We tried to recoup that and that is the hardest thing that any culture can be asked to do. 

We crawled and then walked in the mud for it and in that exploration we never became explorers. We became something else of the likes that the world has never seen. 

The cost was high though and the Universe was unforgiving even as we forgave. So once again, my history never started with me being a slave.
