Oh, I wonder if I'm the first person you think of when you hear the word traitor. I deserve that name and reputation; I call myself that too in front of the mirror.

If the idea of people caring about and seeking justice for others—even if they weren’t/aren’t related to the victims and directly affected by the oppression—doesn’t make sense to you, it’s because you never see yourself being one. And it doesn’t make you cool.

I refuse to pray to the same god who’s the reason why I’m praying in the first place. I don’t know if god is real, but I do know that he doesn’t deserve everyone's praise.

Thou art afraid thou art too defensive.

And when thee decideth to leave,

those gents'll say thee have not gratitude,

but thou art just doing what thee should.

Then those gents'll portray thee as "rude",

but thee find yourself in a happy mood,

because speaking up doth feel good.

And the fusty shall hest respect,

but the young shall boldly object.

The adults art afeard of the youth,

for it is we who square for truth.

[her-alien]

You're afraid you're too defensive.

And when you decide to leave,

they'll say you lack gratitude,

but you're just doing what you should.

Then they'll portray you as "rude",

but you find yourself in a happy mood,

because speaking up feels good.

And the old will demand respect,

but the young will strongly object.

The adults are scared of the youth, 

because it is us who fight for truth.

[her-alien]

I refuse to pray to the same god who’s the reason why I’m praying in the first place.

I don’t know if god is real, but I do know that he doesn’t deserve everyone's praise.

Holding on is like wearing that dress that doesn’t fit me anymore.

I know I should let go, but I loved the way it made me feel before.

i learned that the man who took the first up close photo of a snowflake, Wilson A. Bentley in 1885, also started the concept “No two snowflakes are alike”. In his lifetime, he took over 5k photos of snowflakes (x)

They tell me ‘God won’t forgive you.’

Don’t worry; I won’t forgive him too.

[her-alien]

Life hasn’t always been fair to me, but who am I to complain?

Happiness is too much to demand; I just want a little less pain.

[her-alien]

And to all the hearts I’ve regretfully broken,

I wish you happiness that feels like heaven.

[her-alien]

Out of all the people you will meet,

I hope that my face is your favorite.

[her-alien]

For a while, love felt like heaven. 

Forever, it made me feel broken.

[her-alien]

When I give love that I don’t receive,

breaking hearts is my favorite crime.

It’s always me who’s the first to leave

but whose feelings last for a lifetime.

[her-alien]

I badly want to ask you if there's someone new;

I'm afraid you'll respond with “It was never you.”
