we shall overcome,

we shall overcome,

we shall overcome one day 

and as the crowd sings

with the exception of a few dogs and a unicorn, 

You matter.

Not in a pastel poster sort of way. Not in a science teacher’s dad-joke shirt sort of way.

In a rain drop sort of way.

The rain drops don’t need to be there

Not all of them

For it to be raining.

you’re my over the rainbow / my in between months / tea and honey / from the sweetest flowers / the colors of your eyes and cerulean braces / thank you for being mine (again) / so please hold on / and don’t let me leave / again / i love you /

20,000 leagues above mankind sits an ivory tower

A tower with men and women who hold all the cards

A tower so strong not even a missile barrage could crumble it

/ i am running / and for once / i am not

dragging you with me / i am glad / and clearly /

you are not to blame /

I'm walking on a balance beam

I knew this would happen.

We all work so hard for this

You do too

We try to include everything

Every article

Every story

We can't

We have page limits.
