F/Wisconsin What can I change for the better? What have I changed? What will I change?
Lies slip from her mouth Waiting for the web to be unraveled She watches them stumble and fall into her trap Disappointed, everytime. The strings of fate wait It is a game that none but her see She grasps them and weaves a story from threads and her friends All around, people become beads She weaves the strands of the game From her fingers, a tapestry unfolds Showing a path that few have ever seen before Once, a game masterfully won

The Spinner
When I met her, all she did was draw. What I thought was creativity, was a message. A plea for help, an outlet. Her telling us she wasn't okay. When I grew to know her, she seemed pessimistic. What I though was overthinking, was seeing the truth. Not pessimistic, realistic. Her telling us she wasn't okay. Her telling me, I was blind. Now, I am scared to admit I don't know Her favorite words to tell me are **** me" Her sense of humor isn't the brightest, this might be a joke. It might not be. It might be another plea I am blind to see. In this ocean of emotion, only one thing is clear to me. I don't want to let her climb that tree, I want to give her some time, help her off this ledge I see Let her think this through one more time, Share it with her family, get some help, but then, she just might slip free.

To begin, find the lines.
What is love? Is it the feeling of wanting to be next to someone forever? Is love the obligation you feel to family? Is it the happiness whenever you see someone? Is love what you feel before you want to do something else with them? What is love?

Love
Owned, it is what you are By god, you must listen Everyone needs to You have to bow True, you once were free How? You couldn't understand them Emptiness is what now fills you Mark of death awaits if you don't pay attention Owned, that is you Really, what could you ever expect? Excess thoughts are ridiculed Living under is better than dying free Some don't believe that Exactly that many are gone

Obey
I look to the sky, for you, I begin to cry. have to unify I hate when it bangs. Look, these clouds, our overhangs, They shall feel our fangs. It must be so fun, In your hands, to hold a gun. We don't want to run. We don't want to hide. Death, no longer is our bride. POTUS, step aside.

Step aside.
I look around, and see my world. It offers me peace, friendship, family, love. I see how, around me, it has curled. I look at it again, and shove. It cracks. I see past the wonderful colors swirling around me. The darkness whipping around outside moves me to pull back. From that pain, I am glad to be free. Years pass. My world is dimming, ever so slightly. Then I take a new class. I look at my world, trying too hard, shining too brightly. I watch as the bright glow covers the gaping holes. I learn more, and more and I watch as they grow. This darkness that I see outside, it hurts my soul. I chip away at the false light using my newfound knowledge as ammo. I look outside and for the first time, I truly see.

A false light shines brighter than all others.
A Bluebird flits across the Cerulean sky, always Doomed to land to Eat her precious Food. Goodbye, says the Hungry bird to the Insect it is about to eat. Just a little bit longer til' you see the Knight of death. Lies, says the bug. No Mouth shall stop my little heart. I say No to the Knight, Only a Person could Quell my Remaining fear of her. So, what shall you do, Bird of The blue feather? Unabashed, the bluebird Vacated the nearby Woods, only for the Xylophagous insect to Yelp out its displeasure at the bluebird Zigzagging away from him.

The Bluebird and the Worm
I think of you all the time. You are the object of my empathetic grief. I am sorry for your loss. I sit for you. You have been wronged by this country, I shall not stand for its song until they have helped. I have done my part. I let my friends and family know I feel bad for you. You are the daily topic around here. Of course you would understand. I plan on doing something for you, like donating a dollar or two. You have been given money. It surely is enough. I reposted a meme about you. You have been such a great sport about all this. I sure do feel bad about your incident. I pray for you. You are in my daily thoughts and prayers. You can do this. I, I see you. I see what you have been forced through. I am inspired by your unmeasurable pain, and move. I am planning a way to help you. I talk to the news I talk to everyone I know I send carefully worded messages to them all. I send heart string tugging letters, begging for help. What do they do? They send back that you have my thoughts and prayers.

In accordance to recent events...
Bang! I heard a firework go off. I don't see any lights. Oh, I think that was a garage door falling shut. Or maybe someone slamming a door. I don't want to think about what it might have actually been. It's not like summer has come and gone months ago. It's not like nobody has garages around here. It's not like people slam doors loud enough for it to echo around the inside of my school. It's not like I'm scared for me and my friends every time I enter the building. It's not like that, I swear. Everyone is scared. Everyone is lashing out. Everyone is on their toes. Everyone is trying to become home-schooled. We want to leave. Not for boredom, not for the next best thing. But for safety, for home. Who's coming in the door next? Who's going to stop them? Who's going to survive? Who is going to die?
