My Past Makes Me a Whore?

| Laura Lee Bonde

I just saw a disturbing post. It was about a woman who has “a past,” and because of “her past,” they’re calling her a whore.

As much as I wanted to defend her, I couldn’t because political bullying is intense, so I’ll speak in my own defense.

According to this post that I saw…
My past makes me a whore

I used to be a stripper
That makes me a whore
I used to sell my body
I’m not one to be honored
My one-night-stands are countless
I must be a slut

You see
I know that’s not true
But why do people spew it?
Why do they tear down the present
With the past?

I know I’m a woman of integrity
Who deserves to be honored
The past will NEVER define me
Nor should it define anyone else

“False Evidence Appearing Real”

| Laura Lee Bonde

what have I become?
I’ve become more of who I am

there’re still some words inside
holding back from coming out
and it makes me wonder

why?
who am I protecting?
who am I afraid of?

if God is for me
who can be against me?

at times…many

but in reality
as much as people have the right to bully online
I have the right to speak my mind
whether you like it or not

but still
if I can’t take the heat
there’s always the delete button

Yesterday, there was an altercation in a school lunch line, which involved bullying, self defense, and school suspension, and I’m very proud of the way my daughter, Carolyn, handled herself.

Kingdom Identity

| Laura Lee Bonde

Yesterday, Nathan had picture day at school and wanted to color his mo-hawk with some gold spray. Carolyn helped him with it, and by the time they were done, it looked really cool, but wouldn’t you know it…kids made fun of him.

After football practice, he was telling me how almost all the kids made fun of him…laughing at him, saying he had “blonde” hair. We started talking about the cruelty of kids and how they tease. Continue reading →
