I don't know
maybe it's because
no matter how light or dark
it's still the same color

dear conservatives using this excuse:
"HOMOSEXUALITY BROUGHT THE DOWNFALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE"
1) I think you need to retake a couple classes
because I learned that there were a lot of things that might have ended the roman empire
but gay people
was not one of them

and 2) if homosexuality was so bad
why was Julius Caesar having *** with a king

i've lived in 5 different disticts
by the time I was 5
and in my experience
the best time to move is when you're 6 and under
because nobody cares who you are like the older kids do
"oh, she's hanging out with a BOY
she must have a crush on him"
when we were little
girls hanging out with boys
was just girls hanging out with boys
"ew, she likes crawling on all fours
like an animal
she's a ******* furry"
when we were little
doing that was just
playing pretend
"oh my god, do you see what she's wearing
SO extra"
when we were little
it was always
the bigger the better, right?
"no, you cant hang out with us
you don't even like the stuff we do"
when we were little
everyone was everyone's best friend
as long as they knew how to have fun

why did that change?

do they care?
of course they do
do they act like they care?
... mostly
does it feel like they care?
not really

if I fall
then she falls
then he falls
then she falls
then he falls
then she falls
then she falls
then she falls
then she falls
then she falls
then they fall
then she falls
until we've all fallen
got to stay up

why is it
that when you're always sad
it's so easy to fake a smile

the bottle of pills on my dresser
becomes more tempting

or taking the blades out of my razor
and killing myself in the shower

jumping out the window
it has no bug net

hanging myself with my charger
I learned how to tie a noose on Pinterest









"don't worry
nothing's wrong"

isn't it amazing
when your mom's a therapyst
yet somehow
she can always see you friend's and family's problems
but fails to recognize her daughter isn't doing well

this country is severely ******

we elect a man who
makes empty promises
provides specifically for the white, cis, male, and privileged
gets people killed when he doesn't get his way
should be in prison
in general a bad person
all because most weren't ready to accept
a mixed woman
might be better than a white man

or the police
don't get me started on them
"tHeY'Re PrOTeCtINg ThE PeOPlE aS A wHoLE"
absolute *******
do you know the amount of black people have been killed?
because they were "a threat" right?
stepping out a car, sleeping in our beds, cooking our own food
incredibly threatening isn't it?

or jobs?
female employees getting paid as much as men multiple levels below them
blacks, asians, and Hispanics getting jobs they are way too good for
because we apparently will never be able to do the job we're QUALIFIED for
as good as a white man

and why is it such a big deal
if a boy loves a boy
if a girl loves a girl
if someone doesn't want to choose a gender
if someone doesn't like the gender they were born as
if someone loves girls and boys
if someone doesn't care who they love, as long as they're a good person
if someone doesn't love at all
they're living their own life
who they identify as doesn't affect you in the slightest

we aren't doing too good
