All Humans are Created Equal
We stood up to a tyrant once.
And now it’s time to again.
We need to stand up for the rights we were supposed to get so long ago.
“All men are created equal.”

My Community
The people around me, my friends, my family, my peers.
I see them every day, barely talk to most of them.
But they are my community.
They know me, or parts of me.

We are the People
We are the people.
The girl who wears every scar like a trophy.
The boy who struggles with reading.
The kid who protests for their rights.
The mother who works 3 jobs to pay the bills.

Lady Liberty
This statue is a woman.
She’s the symbol of the USA.
Yet people refuse to acknowledge her daughters.
The Lady Liberty, huh?
You know what that makes me think?
The one free woman.
Yeah.

Love and Hatred
Love is hard, hatred is easy.
How am I supposed to love the girl who pushed me in the hallway because I like reading about dragons? It’s much easier to hate her.

Don’t Worry Your Pretty Little Head
“Don’t worry your pretty little head about that”
Every girl has heard that phrase at some point, or will hear it at some point.
It means:
You’re a girl.
Girls are pretty.
Girls are happy.
Girls aren’t smart.

schön
the east is enveloped in blue dark
the plane that carries you
diving into the abyss
while the west appears to be engulfed in flames
a simple view from the deck
of a slow moving boat

Those Who Live
Acts of love are defined as any gesture, action, or behavior that shows care, affection, and kindness toward another person.
Some big and grand
Some small, nameless, unnoticed

Headphones
The moment I first saw you, I knew to be afraid.

the greatest gift
I was broken
When I met you
Yet you treated me
With compassion
Despite all my flaws,
Despite all my emptiness
You handed me a pen
And showed me a path to the light

Between Lies and Pain
I choose pain.
We gossip all the time.
Shaping somebody,
to what they aren't.
When rumors emerge
between shadows
we change who somebody is

Not yet.
No.
No, no, no, no!
It can't be December,
not yet.
Because just a minute ago,
we were going back to school shopping.
And now we're almost halfway through the year?
It doesn't make sense.
