picking cotton has been getting hard it hurts to bend down my knees don't work the way that they used to. Oh how i used to be killing it at parties, dropping it like it's hot better than everyone else. Now that all changed, my knees lock up on me, they squeak every time i move them...
One of the other slaves were really close with their owner. He was basically family to the slave owners family. They gave him everything nice clothes, money, good food, and even electronics. How i wish my owner was like that, all he ever does is yell at me and whip me. Oh all the bruises i get everyday for doing one little thing wrong...
Shockingly i am not bummed out that my owner didn't give me any of that stuff that Tyler has because Tyler's owner was nice enough to get me a phone. But if i got caught with it no one knows what will happen to me. Tyler gave me the other slaves numbers Tyler isn't my only friend i have others but we aren't very close. But there's this one slave her name is angelita, she isn't really a slave she just faked to get in.  Oh and my names Zari by the way
