Land of the Free Yet ranks 20th in the world Land of the Free Unless you aren't White, rich, and male Unless you aren't Christian or Atheist. Slam the borders! Americans insist Keep them out! Let no one in! Land of the Free We sing And chant Land of the Free Proud are we Land of the Free But not.
I watch the stars And the streetlights And the leaves I watch the fire The waves and the trees. I watch And watch Humanity But never understanding. I watch the laughter And tears And screams I watch them speak And call out greetings. I think its beautiful Raw emotion The way we are all linked. But the hate And greed And ignorance Drowns out the good. So I will watch nature And the stars. Beauty much easier To understand.
This is me and was me lying because i want you, not lying because i want you, annoying you because i want you, loving you because i want you, hurting you because i want you, crying because i want you. Can you not let me go.
I wasn't her first. Or her second. Or third. But I didn't need to be. I said "I'm no good with words", and she said "they don't speak to me anyway. Anyway you were the first to run your hands down my body, stop at my chest and ask me if it hurts". When she said yes, I told her yes too. To this day she says "that was the moment I fell in love with you"
I don't know how to tell you that I have found the love of my life in the corner of my hospital bedroom. He stands patiently. Watches me eager. Feeding me his hand-me-down depression. He could make me feel at home in a roofless shelter, make this rain feel like soft kisses along my skin, he could make razor blades feel like feathers. I have never known the true definition of flirting until seeing the hunger for my soul in his eyes. I don't know how else to tell you that I've found the love of my life. All I can say is that death has been begging me to stay the night, I've been choking on apologies. These days he's the only one who knows how to hold me.
