I'm not going to “Pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America”.
We aren’t “One nation, under God”.
What happened to “Liberty and justice for all”?
People stopped caring, that’s what.
These are a few words from our pledge, yet all I read is empty promises.
The first two amendments of our very own Constitution include these;
One: Freedom of speech. Yet we aren’t allowed to say what we think.
Two: Freedom of press. Yet tv and radio stations can’t swear.
Three: Freedom of religion. But if one doesn’t agree with another’s religion they point it out.
Four: Peaceable Assembly. But we can’t protest without causing “Problems”.
Five: Petition the Government. Yet the government always has final say.
And six: The right to bear arms. So why are they taking our guns?
“Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on the continent,
a new nation, conceived in liberty,
and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.”
Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg Address, November 19th, 1863.
Some of the greatest words ever said in or about our country.
Most of us as American’s have thrown all that away.
Men and women are both treated unfairly.
There are Feminists out there complaining about every little mistake a man can make.
Men on average earn 22% more in pay than women do.
There are 13 states where they have banned same *** marriage.
Nothing about America shows equality.
Women and men are out there fighting for us right now, or have in the past.
They fight to keep our country whole, and free, and peaceful, and united.
But it’s hard to keep something united that has not been in a long time. So no.
I won’t pledge my allegiance to the flag of the Broken Sates of America
Until it is fixed again. Would you?

Bleeding from both arms,
Slowly dying.
Sound blocked out,
Yet you still hear the crying.
Room going dark,
You see the demons forming.
Awaiting your stay,
They all seem to be swarming.

Never ending story of my past.
The happiness that never seemed to last.
The ending of my torture, pain, and sorrow.
Don’t know if I can wait until tomorrow.

I got flowers today. And a love letter.
They were from someone else.
I wish they could be from you.
But you’re gone and I need to move on.
It’s been three weeks since we broke up.
But I have to see you every single day.
Smiling, laughing, being happy. Without me...
It hurts to hear your name.
It hurts to see your face.
It kills me to hear your voice.
The voice is never directed towards me though.
You don’t talk to me anymore.
You told me you don’t care about me.
This is the part where I’m supposed to slam you.
Tell everyone how I don’t care about you either.
But I do. And it hurts.

Your eyes. A deep blue. Like the ocean.
I felt safe when I looked into them.
I’ve seen your eyes light up with happiness.
I’ve seen them swell up with tears.
They always stayed the same beautiful blue.
Until the day they turned red.
The day those loving blue eyes filled with hate.
You could have lit the sky on fire with those eyes.
But you chose to burn me instead.

Bleeding out, and screaming.
Never sleeps, but dreaming.
Hoping, wishing, praying.
Soul inside decaying.

Tic... Tic... Tic...
I lay in my bed.
It's ten o'clock.
My bed is warm.
I'm tired as Hell.
Tic... Tic... Tic...
I'm still in bed.
It's midnight.
My mind has been racing.
I just want to sleep.
Tic...Tic... Tic...
I just woke up.
It's two am.
Twenty minutes of sleep.
All at once.
New record.
Tic... Tic... Tic...
I've moved my bed to the floor.
Made a little nest there with my blankets.
It's three in the morning.
I'm still so tired.
Tic... Tic... Tic...
My alarm goes off.
It's five am.
Time to get ready for school.
46 minutes of sleep.
I need coffee.
