Why does the world pretend?

Why does the world pretend to act like nothing bad is happening?

Why does the government, meant to safeguard the people, suddenly make this a monarchy?

I find it stupid that some people think that this is all fine and dandy.

Why do schools not teach you about what’s going on now, but instead say that “throughout history bad things have happened but nothing bad is happening now.”  Even though the country is falling apart around them?

Why do people shield us from what is happening now?

Act like everything is fine, when it isn't?

That makes me mad.

It makes me mad that it seems like some people are okay with this bullshit happening in the government right now.

  • The hidden fight

    Everyday I fight a hidden fight.

    you wouldn't know it.

    I hide it,

    At school, 

    In class

    at any moment I could breakdown in a fit of tears 

    of pain

    anger

    because I have hearing loss.

  • Moonrise

    The sun sets. 

    A stunning watercolor effect paints the sky beautiful warm colors. 

    A last hurrah before disappearing over the horizon. 

    Then, 

    there is moonrise. 

  • Speechless

    I am speechless.

    All the bullshitting and lies 

    from our government.

    OUR government.

    They say that they are protecting us.

    That's not what I see,

    "Don't believe your eyes."
