But aren't we always?
People always act like we're so far away from death.
But really we're not.

Justice Must Be Served
Justice must be served.
The man who shot her must pay the price.
Doesn’t matter if he was scared or not, she didn’t deserve this.
Nobody does.
That man needs to be brought to justice.

Me
Who am I?
I don’t even know anymore.
I’ve shed the person I once was in favor of a new one.
Yet, I’m still that person.

International Law
We broke it.
We broke international law.

My Friend, the Moth
Gentle as water sliding down your face,
A voice like a bell.
A smile as delicate as a rose,
But as strong as an eagle.
Hands and arms with ink scribbled over them like tattoos.

The light rises and

Love enters, hate leaves

Maybe This is When
When friends start bullying
When children start polluting
When everyone is taking
When neighbors start killing.
Maybe that’s when
Friends should start listening

Stand Together
We’re tearing ourselves apart;
Every day this country has loss and darkness that follows us around as if a shadow, clinging to any sign of doubt.

Trapped
Hidden
Locked
Confined in chains

Dear, Venezuela/Greenland
Dear, Venezuela and Greenland,
A couple months ago I wrote
A poem apologizing to Canada,
And saying that they DO NOT
Belong to us.
I’m deeply angered,
Saddened,
And heartbroken
