Favorite Quote:
"Some infinities are bigger than other infinities."-John Green (The fault in our stars)


Together we are a hurricane,
Together we destroy,
We terrorize each other with our powerful words,
Our deadly threats hanging above each other

Together we are deceiving,
Obsessed with the comfort of the lies we tell ourselves,
The truth is a knife slowly stabbing our gut,
So together we refuse to face it

Together we are a song,
A never ending sonnet,
An unanswered cry for help,
Together our story continues

Individually we are murdered by judgment,
Fighters on our own terms,
Together we are an unarmed army,
Together our sin is always cancelled out by the crimes of each other

Together we are no longer 7 billion beating hearts,
We are no longer judging eyes or sinning souls,
We are no longer warriors on our own battle field,
Together we stand as one, not a single one of us against the world on our own

Together we are humans,
We are a race full of mistakes,
We are vulnerable and weak,
Yet untouchable and powerful,
Together we are one imperfect population of humans

Lately I've been thinking about how our human race is together due to recent events and also growing up in this world, and it gave me inspiration.
