how am I still here
when I am always in fear
that no one really likes me
I am always losing track of time
or I am stuck in waiting
I am not sure what I am feeling
I always hear things a little too late
I am always infatuated
and that passion always fades
how come I can never keep a connection
I am chasing temporary joy
I wish my mind would stand still for a second
and still, my mind can't hear my body
my heart is in the past
but my head is in the future
guess I didn't want to choose between feeling sad or anxious
I always come back to that one moment
why did it change everything
if we had a happy ending
I would be a different person
our love could have bent the universe
but I am on a different journey
you taught me my first lesson

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.
