One King

When did our country become a monarchy?

When did it become an autocracy?

We vote, yes

But this new ruler

This new president

This new king

He’s broken law after law

Stripped away peoples rights

Done things no ruler should do

He’s not a president

He’s a king

A dictator

And now our country is an autocracy.

  • Freedom

    Freedom is a concept I think about often.

    A concept I don't really understand.

    Yes, we have it.

    But it often feels like we don't.

    How am I supposed to see how free I truly am, when I just feel trapped?

  • Experiences

    Experiences.

    They're a gift all on their own.

    Spending time with friends, laughing and talking about stuff that doesn't even really matter to anyone but us.

    Immersing myself in a world of roleplay, where I'm whoever I want.

  • Dopamine

    Because of these things called phones, those of us born in the digital world have far too large receptors for dopamine.

    Miniature computers, larger dopamine receptors.

    Harder to get content and joy.
