Horrors of the world

True beauty 

I admire true beauty 
not the makeup you put on your face
or the stitching you put on your body 
I admire not the machine but the gears that make the machine run
i admire the cocoon not the butterfly 
true beauty is growth 
growth of not the body but the mind
seeing the horrors of the world and choosing to change instead of hiding in your head and drowning in your delusions of the world 
growing up in a bad place with bad people and still being able to hope and look forward instead of backwards being able to see both good and bad from both sides 
that's what I truly admire

  • Fight

    Our fathers

    Mothers 

    Daughters

    Sons

    Have fought 

    When there is no time to sit

    When there’s no more patience 

    For our world 

    We stand 

    And fight

    And win

  • Taoism

    Taoism 

    Where one seeks enlightenment by shutting off their emotions 

    But how will that lead to enlightenment 

  • words

    Words 

    They hold power

    Like a gun 

    But it’s our voices that give them power

    Words are an unloaded gun

    And our voices are the bullets
