"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?

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

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

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?

Peace of Mind

When I wanted to die yesterday I thought long and hard about what it was I really wanted

I used to want the pain. The blood. To watch death happen.

Then I realized I don't want the death I want what seems like peace after death.

But would that even exist for me?
I'm not going to **** myself it's just a reflection. I believe in a heaven and a hell. Would I be going to hell for just wanting peace of mind? I mean isn't the whole "peaceful" thing after death a myth anyways. It's just two places, one IS peace and one is the opposite. Would I be sent to the opposite in my disillusioned effort to gain peace?
