How can you tell if someone has changed
Without awaiting the next time they hurt you
How can you tell if someone is truly changing for you, of if there's just a lull in the madness. Is it possible to truly believe someone will change if you're still always expecting the next attack?

All this time I thought if I killed myself she wouldn't grieve all that much. That it'd be better off. That it'd make her happier.
But
If I were to **** myself, she would mourn. She would die inside. She would care.
*And that makes all the difference

This is the time of year when you need someone to love
And someone who loves you back

Walking down the hallway
He walks by and my mind races
Look down. No, look up.
Eye contact
Should I smile?
The moment is over
You awkward idiot
Stares at the ceiling
Stop no don't think of that
Finds a distraction
Stop! Stop thinking!
Reaches the door
Okay, big smile on three
Walks outside
"Hey guys what's up!"
The "he" is not a lover or crush btw

Ja
I stared out the window
My brain, completely disengaged
No thoughts, no emotions
But a war was being waged

I could not move or even think
Stood lifeless, as I gazed
But, inside my brain
This awful darkness blazed

Outside the window, light
It seemed so warm and pure
Still, inside my head
A madness did me lure

I could not raise my voice
Could not, say a word
That evil’s lock on me
Seemed to be assured

But then an angel’s voice
So sweetly to me said
Come with me my dear
And let us go to bed

FOR MY WIFE

the day
when even the not so faithful
were tempted to pray
for the health of the nation

"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses
Yearning to breath free"
Yet we voted for a man ready to force people *out

We voted for a man who won't let people in
People tired, and poor yearning for the "land of the free"
Let us all remember this country was built on immigration
Founded on immigration
Let us not forget what this country originally stood for
My heart burns for the 11 million people, who most of them came to be part of the land of the free, to experience freedom for all, who today had to wake up and tell their children they wouldn't get to be free at all. My heart burns for those who won't be allowed into the country to escape violence because of their religion or race. We came here to escape religious persecution, but now we shun those who are trying to escape as well. All of the "Christians" who are rejoicing today at the election, I urge you to think about the millions of people you have doomed. Jesus said to not only love your neighbor, but your enemy. Could we ever be capable?
