You won't, You can't
"What do you want to do when you grow up"
"I want to change the world"
"Ok but what are you going to do?"
"Change the world"
"You can't"
"I can"
"You won't"
"I will"

Longing to Be Younger
Catching fireflies
In my palms
Catching snowflakes
On my tongue
Throwing wishes
To the sky
On the wings
Of dandelions
Dreaming
With my head
In the clouds
Begging to stay

My Mirror
I have a big mirror in my room
It stretches the length of me
Showing everything
Every morning I stand
Right in front of it
I see all my flaws
I see everything
That isn't perfect

My heart
Dear,
My heart
You have marks showing what I've done
You've seen things
No one wants to see
But you keep on beating
You're battered and bruised
You have scars
Caused by pain
By fear

The Common Good
Democracy isn’t a mother
who shields you from the storm;
it’s the ghost of a father
who leaves when the lights flicker,
and promises turn to dust
in his palms. -
Two Homes, No Sanctuary
Two doors, both locked, neither mine.
Two names, one I gave up.
Two voices, both demanding I choose.
A home is a shelter. A home is a question. -
Slipping Through My Fingers
There’s this song,
Slipping Through My Fingers.
By ABBA. From Mamma Mia!
That's how I see it.
Our rights.
“I try to capture every minute.”

The Girl Inside
It’s only been a few days and sadness feels so far away
This feeling, it isn’t salvation
The girl who used to scream for others pains is shut out
She fights to be free, to make me suffer for something I don’t feel nor control
