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!

Stop doing awful things

to people that did nothing to you!

 

You said it was self defense,

somebody was hurt-

I don't believe you.

 

You shot her,

you shot her three times,

you prevented her from getting help.

You said you had your own help for her.

I don't believe you.

 

You said she ran somebody over,

but then the one that was "run over"

walked up to her car without a scratch.

 

When you say all of these things,

I don't think I believe you.

  • 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,

    but her music-

    oh, her music is such a beautiful blend of all the colors you can name.

  • So you say

    You sit at your fancy desk and act like you're doing something.

    Something good for the world.

    You say that you are,

    you say that you're helping.

     

    You're not, 

    haven't been,
