I've never fit into any category and always deemed an outcast since I was in Sunday School and all the cool kids said I was weird. It's exactly the same, they say, "Why do you dress that way?Why do you act that way? Why aren't you just like me?" So is that what you really wanna say to me? You're playin' games with me and telling me if I'm unkind. Still, you abandon me. You're calling me words I'm not and painting a picture that's false. You must not know my heart, but I know it isn't your fault You live in a world in your clutch. You don't get out very much. You're living in a fake world full of facades and chaotic behavior. You pull the lever for fun. You yell, "Fire!" then you just run.
     Fire drill! What would happen if a nuke just hit? Would you say bye to your family? Would you post about it? Fire drill! If it all went up in flames one day, would you give your mom a hug before your house burned away? It kills. I wish the best for you. You think I ignore you too, but really, I'm trying to live my own life and be present more. So should you. It's alright to!
     I'm crying inside because nothin' I say ever comes out right. We're on the same side. If I'm honest with you, you just run and hide. I'm bad at public speaking but I'm speaking now so hear me out. "Shut up." I personally believe that everyone is fully capable of more than what they're doing; all of the bullying, all of the screwing around with people they don't even really know. "Blah blah blah." You're eating a hate soufflé and an angry bitter sorbet all because you were bored one day. You're losing your wits and your grace.     Fire drill! What would happen if a nuke just hit? Would you say bye to your family? Would you post about it? Fire drill! If it all went up in flames one day, would you give your mom a hug before your house burned away? It kills. I wish the best for you. You think I ignore you too, but really, I'm trying to live my own life and be present more. So should you. It's alright to!
     I am not the government. I am not the fucked-up men. I am not a part of anything that is hateful. Love is seeping out my pores, I don't hold anger anymore even for people who hurt and betrayed me. "Okay." "Gross..."
