The universe is cracked.
Crack.
Goes the world.
The poor, sad people here.
Oh, god why?
Why are we bound to these few limitations,
Of calm, loud pulsations.
They echo in my mind.
Calling out, "Just stop."
"Stop trying to make a difference."
"Stop trying to change our preference."

Your preference of what?
Of life?
Of your mind?

I've got news for you, kiddo.
I can do anything I want.
As long as it's legal.

Remember this:

The people who built the Titanic
Were experts.
But the person who built the arch
Was an amateur.

Don't tell me
That I can't make a
Difference.

I already have.

Thank you.

But no thank you.
Ahhh this is a ****** mess.

Labels are a lie
A way to communicate
A way to tie yourself down
To a specific word in time

Gender is one form of labels
It's not real
It's just a word
A form of communication

Why do we give in to these labels?

Simple.

Words are powerful
They are wonderful
They are evil
They are real

Gender is not real

But the words are

So ask yourself this:

"What's my label?"
I'm not really good at writing consistent types of poems. Oops?

Depression
"It's not real."
"It's all up to you how you feel."
"You're so problematic."
They're all wrong.
Depression is real.
As real as you.
As real as me.
As real as the thing you love the most.
Depression doesn't make you sad.
It makes you afraid.
Of happiness.
Of sadness.
It makes you tired of feeling.
I'm tired of feeling.
I'm tired.
People who have never felt depression always say stuff like this.
