We were meant to be travelling uphill But now we’re travelling down Freedom for all Oh, that’s just if you’re Christian, male and cis Ah such bliss Oh you’re a woman? Don’t follow our religion? You’re not straight? To the fiery gates! You must burn! A piece of metal has more freedoms and rights Stripping… Continue reading

Come rain come all
When it rains, I don’t shy away I run out and play Spread my arms out wide Face towards the sky Let the rain pour on my face Hardly or softly, whatever the pace Mouth open to catch the water The cold never causing me to falter Because the cold feels good I feel like… Continue reading

Deceitfully Laced
Sitting there In Angelic white Giving guidance When you’re actually an adder about to strike Watching Waiting For the innocent, the naive The ones that’ll buy into your shit story You suck up to them Draw them in Make them believe that you have the “truth” Because of your “experiences” And once they’ve stepped into… Continue reading
