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,

and at this point I don't know if you ever will.

You act like all of this is just a game for your amusement,

it's not.

 

This is real life.

This is us saying no.

This is us stepping up.

 

Because we refuse to be pawns in your game of chess,

you think you're winning?

You're not anymore.

You're not winning anymore because of us,

we're fighting back and turning

the tides against you.

 

You say you're helping,

you say this is what's best for everybody.

 

So you say.

  • 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.

  • She used to

    She used to smile.

    She used to laugh.

    She used to not care.

     

    She still smiled and laughed,

    but it wasn't real.

    She used to not care but then she did.

     

    When did it start?
