Why doesn’t it matter anymore?

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness 

Please, send me a message

Being American isn’t taking down your pride flags and cowering as far as you can from the ballot box when there’s no hope anymore

And yet here we are

Why should that be it? 

Americans have been fighting since the beginning

And now it’s all pushed away and scrapped

A factory collapsed in Bangladesh around 10 years ago.

America dealt with the political issues in Bangladesh in 1910

And now it doesn’t matter?

Why take away what we’ve fought so hard for? 

”We the people” isn’t something you put in your paper for a good grade when you don’t mean it

All people should be treated equally, as one nation, under god, indivisible, with justice for all.

  • Love poem #1

    When I am trying to fall asleep

    You are all I think about

    Aside from the lights flickering and the washing machine humming

    Nothing can take my mind off of thoughts of

    Secret kisses and

    Falling asleep on your chest

  • Icarus

    Holy sun

    Engulf me

    Charm me

    Along with the wings of those who burned before mine

    Burnt feathers

    And curiosity

    Always smell of a man who wanted

    More.

     

  • it's confusing.

    sometimes it doesn't make sense

    did these women pay attention to the fact that they were non consensually kissed

    or did no one else in the kingdom have the same shoe size as cinderella?
