I don't think I believe you
You said today-
today was supposed to be a day of unity.
A day of unity for her.
But instead of having a day of unity
that won't do anything in the long run-
Just stop!

A Masterpiece in Binary
I think there is a glitch in my processing unit;
when the letter 'A' enters the system,
it doesn't just register as a character—
it spills out as a deep magenta that dyes the rest of the word.

Colors I hear
Aimee Carty.
She's my favorite artist.
Her name is a swirl of blue and pink in my mind,

You sit at your fancy desk and act like you're doing something.
Something good for the world.

There was a girl.
Dancing with the little kids,

A child's dream in passing
I want to rule the world

All water and round,

Or rather, a looking glass.

I haven't seen democracy since I was four years old,
coloring with crayons outside the lines while a man on screen was coloring the map with too much red that the blue was overpowered.

If only I could
If only I could stop doubting myself,
If only I could stop being afraid,
If only I could be happier instead of secret depression,
If only I could get better, and peace would stay,
