Black man running; Shoot him in his stomach. MLA format the chalk around his carcass. Pray to Odin Pray for war, now.

you speak words made out of knives, nothing left in me to wants to survive. every time we talk, it's nothing more than your despise. I try to reach the surface, but you keep my head underwater.

You see the world we live in is so black and white. Stuck at a stand still everybody always trying to figure out what’s wrong or right. There’s always somebody trying to tell you how to live your life. Believe this. Believe that. Drink this. Don’t smoke that. Picking which sins are too old school. Like sex before marriage is okay. We’re humans. We need that. But if you love someone of the same gender you’re going to hell. We can’t have that. It’s okay for kids to have sex and make babies event though it’s likely that those babies will eventually end up in the system because babies shouldn’t be making babies. But if you’re a man and you love another man that’s wrong and we can’t understand. Love is love and if we could all grasp that maybe we could all love each other. But I don’t see that happening within the near nor far future as we all just keep growing more and more hateful towards one another. And it’s sad because we’re all supposed to be sisters and brothers. We’re all so caught up on the colors of skin, but none of that should matter because beauty comes from within. And if you aren’t pretty on the inside then nothing matters on your outside. We need to open our hearts and minds and stop judging everybody by the way they live their lives. Peace and love ✌🏽

To unknowing eyes, the world up close may seem as if it were painted with the hues of vibrance and life, so full of constant joy and maybe the occasional trouble... But under the blanket that hides the naïve world, there is a vast sky only painted with the hues of agony and evil; No matter how we may despairingly try to paint over it, the disturbing shadows that color the real world will always be there; lurking, like a growing, sweeping void. Why is it that light may come and go, but when you see the full picture, the darkness lurks, never ceasing?

I want to bring her a bottle of special stuff like bugs gave the Toon Squad, so when she takes a sip and the heaviness lifts off her shoulders,

Have you ever held someone till your tears ran dry, while their tears decide to stay inside, and felt useless? Called someone on their phone when their words won't form,

I feel like I'm running out of time Do you feel that Have you ever felt that Like time was an option on a menu Like there was plenty of time for time

I wish to be finally over this soul bronchitis But it's funny because as much as I hate it it also ignites this: Drive in myself to be a better driver of the mind I can't contain

I'm scared Scared I will end up falling for a guy Who treats me like dirt from the landfill at the edge of town The ones who crumple you up

I hate you I hate the way you look But not as much as the way you behave You taunt me in the mirror Tell me I’m ugly Standing in front of me
