In Palestine where the shadows creep
And young children lost track of sleep
And drugs in there hands and
There drugged to the sky
And drugs entice a cruel end
And children will forever cry
Drugged to the sky and
The shame and high a painful flame
The end is bitter fails to mend
A silent call.
The Israeli army is handing out drinks and
Food to the Palestinian people with
Oxycodone inside.

Oxycodone is used to relieve pain severe enough to require opioid treatment and when other pain medicines did not work well enough or cannot be tolerated.

I don't feel anything
I feel that's better than feeling bad
I've learned to tune the feelings out
just wander around like an aimless zombie
doing as I'm told
saying what I'm supposed to
being what I should be
I don't feel anything anymore
I'm just numb

I'm sick of existing
i'm sick of feeling
I'm sick of not feeling
I'm sick of this life
I'm sick of my mind
I'm sick of bad nights
I'm sick of responsibility
I'm sick of everything
I'm sick

I've always felt lonely
but never like this
I just want a hug
a crushing, meaningful, never ending hug
and someone to whisper in my ear
"I get it. You're not alone."
I'm so starved
Of touch
I just want a hug
and a whisper
that I'm loved
Is that too much to ask?

One story,
two different perspectives.
One story,
a hero and a villain.
Two different perspectives —
Now who's the hero
And who's the villain?
How often have you been the villain in someone else's perspective?

Let’s not sleep—
let’s overthink!
Let’s rethink
every awkward blink.

Let’s write a novel
in our head,
then cry about
what we should’ve said.

Sleep is boring.
Peace is fake.
Let’s spiral till
the morning breaks.
One breath,
At a time.
One memory,
At a time.
One word,
At a time.
That all I need—
To keep going.
I just need to try,
For one at a time.
Till I can love myself,
Not leaving myself behind.

we are all made of stars
cast down from the heavens
and turned into
a form we can recognize.

perhaps
we are not all made for a life
on this planet
and should have stayed with the stars.

maybe that is why
some of us look for a way
back to the stars
because we were not made
for this.

Mom,
You’ve filled my days
With hugs and love
You brushed away tears
Along with Silencing life’s fears
You guided when I lost light
Hugged, cried
Laughed
Lied
Surprised
And
Sang
All the days
And nights away
You’ve filled my days
With unconditional love
And given peace to my heart
As my mom
Your my strength that guides
Me no matter how far I stray
Away from
Life’s days.

I flinch at the sound
of a hand striking skin
because I know your name.
I shy away from raised, angry voices
because I know your name.
I learn to lie easily
because truth doesn't know your name.
I feel dread appear
in the pit of my stomach
the second you walk in
because I know your name.
and because I know your name
and everything bad associated with it
I
Know
You
