The Will to Resist

Resting Bitch Face, Burning Soul


Didn’t talk much today.

Had my resting bitch face on like armor—but inside?

Burning. Just… different.


Caught the bus.

Made a mobile order to Taco Cabana.

Took a few cat naps—survival mode on repeat.

Got off, walked fast to Walmart.

Face still set to “Don’t talk to me.”

Used two cards for two separate orders—standard hustle.

A worker asked if I was okay. Said I looked angry.


I could’ve said:

“It keeps people away.”

But I didn’t.


I just said:

“Nothing is wrong.”

Wished her a good day and left.


Picked up my TC order.

Thought about it—how I burn, even when I’m not trying to.

How the fire’s just there, riding with me whether I want it or not.

Got to Sprouts.

Chugged a Red Bull.

Ate two tacos.

Waited until 11:58a to clock in.

Only to find out...

I wasn’t even on the schedule.

13 hours gone.

Check’s gonna hit different this week.


But DailyPay?


Get wrecked. I’ll survive. I always do.


Walked out.

Bought an 8-piece chicken.

Headed to the bus stop.

Saw a man under the bridge—probably homeless, maybe not.

Didn’t matter.

He was moving. Hustling. Burning like I do.

He met up with someone.

I stopped him, handed him 5 of my 8 pieces.

Said it was for 5 people.

Cool.

He asked if I ever made soup or anything, to drop some by.

Told him if I saw him again, I would.

Didn’t need a story.

Didn’t need validation.

I saw him.

And I respected the fire.


Bus 1. Then Bus 2.

More naps. More silence.

Got off, stopped by Fiesta.

Bought two Red Bulls and two ice cream pies.

Told the clerk I forgot to grab one I paid for two days ago—receipt confirmed.

Handled. Done. Respectful. Always.


Called an Uber.

13-minute wait.

App zooming in like it was mocking me while I was zooming out.

Time passed.

Driver arrived.

I got in. Sat down.

Said nothing.

Because there was nothing left to say.


Some people explode. Me? I just burn through days like this with quiet resolve and a middle finger in my back pocket.
