walk softly, and carry a big stick

[reverendstorm]

"In the aftermath of you."

This pain, it's hollow yet heavy. It weighs me down, feeling like there's nothing left in me.

No more strength to push, just barely enough to breathe, to be.

I dress my addictions up as distractions. Feeling cold,

dead in the moment it lasts. Feeling that momentary

bliss. No more voices, no more tears. No more screaming memories.

This is a season I'll never forget, a year that will forever be with me. The day I fell to my knees, and screamed out in tears. The day I felt dead inside.

These battles are wearing me down, and one day I'll be at rest. Don't fear, I'll weather this storm, as I've done countless times before. Just might take me a bit longer to recover from these wounds.

Words on a screen,

Ryan N. Storm

"Safe Bet"

Not sure what it is, can't quite get you off of my mind. You've found yourself at home and taken up residence. I'd file an eviction notice if I didn't like what you've done to the place. Things feel slightly less chaotic, and cluttered.

Please, leave so I can clean up in your absence and know that it's not your presence that keeps me focused. I can't afford to fully give myself to another person. Yet I can see myself slipping into those arms just like it was the first time.

Don't pull me in, don't hold on to me, don't let me hold on to you. Distance yourself from me, stand your guard. Please don't fall in love, because I ain't the one you need. I ain't a safe bet. I won't let myself open to the point of being raw and vulnerable again.

I know if i let myself, id fall so deeply in love with you. I'd want to build with you, to explore with you, to know each and every part of you. In return, I'd give myself completely to you, all of me. From the best of moments, to my darkest nightmares.

So, before we both fall in deeply, lets just shake hands and forget this ever happened. I've got a lot left to do, and many miles to go until I can let myself be alone with your heart.

A poem, Ryan N. Storm

Just an experiment. Reblog if you actually give a fuck about male victims of domestic violence and rape.

[minotaursauce]

Of fucking course

What sick bastard doesn’t

[xaldien]

“You’d be surprised”, said Xaldien, who just lost four followers and received a lovely “men can’t be raped” anon shortly after reblogging this the first time.

[minotaursauce]

Yowch, disgusting.

[samuraiko]

If I don’t reblog this, assume I’m dead.

[glory-of-hera-blog]

Always reblog this

[nygmobblepot-der-pool-deactivat]

If you Dont reblog this if u see it then i cant call u my friend

[witchofthefuture]

IF ANYONE TELLS ME THAT MEN CAN’T BE VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND RAPE, I AM SICKENED BY THEIR MERE PRESENCE ON MY BLOG.

If you disagree with me, unfollow my blog, block me and never look at my blog again.

If you want to debate about this or send anon’s about this, I will reply but your actions have consequences.

[missharpersworld]

all victims deserve to be heard and helped and have justice

Rape happens to both men and women. Sexual assault and abuse knows no gender. I know all too well the scars it can leave behind decades later.

Net Neutrality

CONGRATULATIONS, everybody! We only have 10 days to fight the FCC & the repeal of #NetNeutrality!

Thanks to John Oliver there’s a SUPER easy way to do this Do you enjoy Netflix? Do you find yourself spending too much time on FB? If net neutrality goes away, our Internet bills go up and we give power to companies like Comcast and Spectrum.

Here’s what you can do - takes less than a minute: 1. Go to gofccyourself.com (the shortcut John Oliver made to the hard-to-find FCC comment page) 2. Click on the 17-108 link (Restoring Internet Freedom) 2. Click on “express” 3. Be sure to hit “ENTER” after you put in your name & info so it registers. 4. In the comment section write, “I strongly support net neutrality backed by Title 2 oversight of ISPs.” 5. Click to submit, done. - Make sure you hit submit at the end! **Feel free to share this**

Beautiful momenta, love and inspiration.

A few years ago I found myself in a living room surrounded by complete strangers. The only thing we had in common was the white stuff we were snorting up our noses. Well, some were using a straw, others had a glass pipe, and for those bathroom dwellers, there was the needle express. There was a smell of regret, sorrow, dirty sex, whiskey, drugs..and blood thick in the air. The music was loud and obnoxious, but I didn't give a fuck about any of these things. The person I was there with was having some conversation about porn and their past sexual experiences . Going on about orgies and murder. People came and went. Having no sense of reality, or responsibility. Somewhere off in the distance, a child was crying.. It was then that I realized this was my living room, these people were my "friends". That crying child, well she was my daughter...and I had work in less than 4 hours. I hadn't slept in 4 days, and hunger was a myth.. #nevergiveup #forevermovingfoward #reverendstorm #StillIrise
