Can't see.
Can't breathe.

Wait-
To reach out.

Accept Them.
Nobody thought the man could win,
that King of Broken Things,
but he showed his vulgar mind
and gave our demons darker wings.
America knew this man was evil
just not to which degree,
in the midst of it
of disease and sickness i struggle
struggle to pull myself out of bed start the
i feel warped in my own obscure world
waited to wanting
anticipating like Sisyphus, pushing to fall back down.
too wake up
to a normal, if only just a slightly foreseeable life

A vision where things seemed to be clear
Where people were excited for the year
All was starting to look super swell
Until we saw his helicopter fell
This year already has not been aspired amongst us
WE are the priveledged ones,
taking these deaths as our time to have fun.
WE are not affected and WE cannot be told what to do,
as the rest of the world stands silent and blue.
The walls are tight and slowly closing in;
I cannot leave this space I’ve buried myself within.
If I dare go out and meet someone today,
I want to go away from home
Home is not here, not right now
Home is where your happy
I am happy but I'm not Happy
Home is where your free
I want to feel free
Free of rules and madness
Inspire to be or not to be.
Inspire to be better,
Better for yourself,
Better for your family,
Better for your next encounter.
Inspiration must be your mindset.
