I have never existed more intensely
happiness is damn near elation
sadness is misery
comedy is surreal
focus is absolutely expanding
sight is cosmic
I hear the soul in every song
existence is hopeful
proof we want to escape
why is life a punishment
we only get one time
we should have made the earth the good place
but heaven on earth is a meaningless phrase
when the stories say peace comes after living
after all, we pray to ghosts
death is the greatest prankster
their favorite comedy is a tragedy
always looking for a dramatic performance
humanity is a performance piece

I want nothing more than to dedicate my life to writing, so I figured I would start here to test the waters. I will be submitting stories to as many communities as possible.
Tea set by a suffragette
Pankhurst is a name well known to the history of women’s suffrage. Who hasn't heard the name Emmaline Pankhurst, founder of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), an all-women organisation campaigning for the right to vote? The group that helped to achieve the right to vote for women in Great Britain and Ireland in 1918. Some know of her daughter Christabel, both being honoured by the Pankhurst memorial in Victoria Palace Gardens, London, right next to the UK Parliament buildings. Sylvia Pankhurst is notably not included in the monument. Why? Because she split with the WSPU to campaign against Britain's entry into First World War.
