I wish I had something
To justify my pain
I had many scars
But they tend to fade away
Sorry to call
I know we said we wouldn’t
it’s just
you left your smile here
and a couple of your laugh
outlouds
tempted to throw them
in the trash
but
you might need them  again
someday
somewhere
soon.
The mind
Hurling
Burning
Squirming
The body
Twisting
Tossing
Turning
Can’t sleep

Thinking
Worrying
So deep

Tired
Unwired
Then sleep!


Snoring!

Crawl into bed
Sleep like you're dead
But really
Your just deep
In your head.

A dream is a Realm
Where all consciousness
goes to die
And every moment,
Every kiss,
Every fairytale's myth
Is a Lie.
it's easy for the weak to romanticize power
overlooking the great burden that is responsibility
after releasing the burden, one may float away
You can't eradicate me,
Mr. President,
Just because you say I don't exist.

You can't speak me into nothingness
With words full of bigotry and lies.

I'm still here,
Mr. President,
We're all still here.

Even if it isn't safe for some of us to be ourselves openly,
Even if some of us haven't found ourselves yet,
Even if some of us are 6 feet under because of the people who believe in your definition of an American -
One that excludes anyone you don't understand,
Anyone that challenges your beliefs,
Anyone remotely different from you -

We're still here.
We're still here.
*******, Mr. President.
- Individual supposedly not recognized by the United States government.
I'm just a cell in this big *** thing.
