We built a superman. 

In our heads, we built a superman. 

Clipped by a speeding bullet, 

So that false blood, stolen blood, blood that was here first 

all the things i do not know about love –

the proper ways to hold someone through the storm, what to say

when a snake has shed its rippling skin and silence with it,

Why does Ophelia look so calm?

Calm in calamity, peaceful in perishing 

Why does she look so calm?

She died in a fit, she died in anger

I know I've said before that I wish I was invisible, but this isn't what I meant.

I want to be seen for who I really am, not someone they think they know and judge.

They'll never understand that you don't have to snap

To be heard.

They'll never understand that their astounding rudeness

Cruelty

Hatred

Discriminatory remarks

Hurt actual people

GASP

The irony is not lost on me. The day that Donald J. Trump will be inaugurated, is the same day as Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
