I Can Just Be Me When I'm With You
DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU KNOW WHO I AM IN REAL LIFE
When I’m with you, my heart is light.
I don’t feel the need to smile, smile, smile, laugh, laugh, laugh.
I can just be me.

Are you aware that we're making history?
Blood and murder and starving people.
An orange man on his self built pedestal.
It is on the breaking backs of suffering Americans that he stands.

The throne
Upon the throne of man
Sits the king of greed
A man so old and cold
Yet ne'er his people
Shall he feed
Upon the yellow throne
Sits a man of truth and lie
A skeleton covered in gold

Distance
The clouds watched the mountains, Strong. Regal.
Infallible.
The clouds longed to join the mountains,
To be together.

apology to the mirror
apology to the mirror
i say sorry to the mirror
for looking away too fast.
for calling her names
that no one deserves.
