There are so many beautiful people that deserve good lives but are trapped suffering in genetic mishaps. It pushes my heart to its limits to see them desperate and hurting and wishing more than fucking anything that things were different. I wish God was real just so there'd be someone to blame.

Rushing Green and the Dripping Blue

I remember what I said, confused short-stander. Now you're uplifted, held in the hands of your two favorite men. Savor it. This crisp time of joy won't last. They will let you down. You'll find them out, and they'll let you fall.

But I'm here at the bottom of things. I'm waiting for you.

I mistook myself for his friend.

Terra Firma

Terra Firma by The Flashbulb

when you fall
the earth creates a nest
where you can safely rest your head
when you call
the birds will cease to sing
so your voice can be heard instead
when you cry
the clouds part from the sun
and flowers blossom from the trees
when you're cold
fire burns the earth
and everyone gets burned like me

Untitled Prose 8

The sound waves shot from my throat move swimmingly through the clutter of trillions of atoms in the air. They climb toward the light of distant stars, carrying my voice in urgency. But the air grows thin, and my words disintegrate as the ground crumbles beneath my feet.

Evolve

I have no doubt that it is a part of the destiny of the human race, in its gradual improvement, to leave off eating animals, as surely as the savage tribes have left off eating each other.

Henry David Thoreau
