From a young age I've been told
You like the opposite sex
Likeing one like your own
is considered a crime
Coming out was painful
I thought I gave it time
thought they would love me for me
but that wasn't the case
Watching other people fall in love nowadays
got me feeling some type of way
knowing the truth
about one man and one woman
not feeling accepted
not wanted in the world
always made me question
the sexuality I am
each night I would cry
praying for change
not being like everyone else
I have been put to shame
by people, I once called my
own family
I've been bullied by people
that I once called friends
and the family I once had
has given up on me
feeling all alone in the world
knowing no one is like me
I can't even talk about all the pain
that all this brings
seeing the colors
the Pride Colors
got me feeling
somewhat human
my whole life I've been told
what sex I should be
not getting to be
the real version of me
Looking back now
I kinda see
why they did what they did to me
if it weren't for the color
The Pride Color
My true sexuality
will have forever been hidden
My color is bright
and it is own the flag
I stand for my sex
and I know
what is right

A Letter to the Firestarter
Dear Firestarter, We can all see you, we've been watching you since you began. In case you didn't know we were here before you and we will be here after. We witnessed your rise, your setbacks, your guilt and your lies. We witnessed you start the fire.

~ Fired ~
— Ai Intrusion ~ Are you Next ~ Is Ai Evolution after your job? — Few workplaces haven't been affected. Ai is in supermarkets, at doctors' offices, and even monitoring farms. I just can't think of anything this machine is not getting into, can you? For instance: Education ~ Law and Tech jobs will one day have a major influence or be taken over by these inanimate machines, with accuracy and vigor. From mechanics' diagnoses to a wide variety of everyday jobs, including fast food workers, with this input having the ability to cut their unnecessary work hours. I'm certain all of us have been touched by this with our short stories and colorful headings, have you? Even comments are very questionable 'Non-Robot' insertions.

Time to change your life.
Is it even possible for you to change your life? A lot of people, more than there should be, are unhappy with their lives. But what are they doing about it? Usually nothing. People talk about how shitty their lives are and want change, but are they not taking the actions to change?
