Can you hear the roar of the crowd?
The thousands of people
Kids, teens, adults and seniors.
All screaming at the corrupt administration that we call a government.
We will not be silenced.
No matter how many books you burn.
No matter how many people you send across the sea.
No matter how much violence you threaten.
It just makes us louder.

I wish for a day where my dreams do not change for each day of the week.
But perhaps I do not.
Because some days I wish for a future where I am always busy, in a city that sleeps even less than I do.
We cheer and shake our cowbells, waving at passing cars.
Sometimes they roll down their windows, clapping and cheering back.
Sometimes they roll their eyes and look away, avoiding eye contact.
I'm not drowning in water, but words.
A feeling comparable to what I imagine standing under a waterfall feels like.
The longer you stand there, the more painful and heavy it gets.
