America Proud
Don't stand before me yelling who's right or wrong when our freedom gets ripped away; either stand by my side or get out the way. This is America, home of the brave and land of the free, or, it used to be. We have threats at our doorsteps yet we're at each others throats, people talking about our constitution being rewrote. Today everyone is overly offended and most offended misapprehended. We have officers acting as tyrants lead by a tyranny causing mass insanity. It's left or right, day or night, seems like there's always a fight or a nightmare fright. America is in some dark times, but no matter what my American pride still shines.

An Open Letter To The World
I do not want to die like this. I make self-deprecating jokes about depression, anxiety, and a general lack of health. I question my sanity, my right to live, to exist. I need to change something before it's too late. I cannot stand behind a company, a community, a country that blatantly dismisses and ignores the countless suffering souls who merely survive. I am giving all I have to entities that believe I am disposable.
