Dear Whomever (Love Bunny)
Dear Whomever,
I don't want to call you out but I noticed you distancing yourself lately. Is it the fact that you don't want to talk to me anymore? Or that I've become too much to handle? When you figure out yourself why you ignore my requests to speak then get back to me. In the mean time I'll just be dropping all of the signs for you to stay with me. Subtle signs that hopefully you'll pick up on before you drop me completely. The point is: if you hate me then don't say you want to date me. Don't call me your bunny then ghost me for no end. I will hop and you don't own me.

The National Anthem Remade
Oh, say is that man still president
After trafficking children and women with Epstein
Whose white power and privileges brought down protesters
So the land that we "love" will be burned to ashes
And the tear gasses' trail the peacefulness turned hell
Gave proof through the night that America is doomed
Oh say does that government want more control over us
It's the land of the oppressed and the home of the powerless
After trafficking children and women with Epstein
Whose white power and privileges brought down protesters
So the land that we "love" will be burned to ashes
And the tear gasses' trail the peacefulness turned hell
Gave proof through the night that America is doomed
Oh say does that government want more control over us
It's the land of the oppressed and the home of the powerless

Regretting the Death
There are times where I want to kill myself
I want to confess what happened and let go
The things holding me back take me over
The beginning of no self control
Let the knife take the place of my mind
Lose all sense of reality and trace my wrist
Letting the regrets of today go
Filling my note with names like a list
So maybe today the deed will be done
Maybe with a blade, a rope, or a gun
Now the time comes to say my last goodbye
I know I'll regret the moment I die
I want to confess what happened and let go
The things holding me back take me over
The beginning of no self control
Let the knife take the place of my mind
Lose all sense of reality and trace my wrist
Letting the regrets of today go
Filling my note with names like a list
So maybe today the deed will be done
Maybe with a blade, a rope, or a gun
Now the time comes to say my last goodbye
I know I'll regret the moment I die

America
I was always instilled with the idea that growing up in America was the best
From birth to last year the idea has changed
How can someone be so full of pride for a country that's just as bad as the rest
We deny the rights of better lives to those in need like immigrants
How can we say we have the best country when those who come to us are turned away
The American Dream with a white picket fence is nothing more than campaign bullshit
The poor get poorer and the rich get richer
The mismanaged system lives on in our hearts as perfectly normal ...

Noticed
Time and time again I notice a recurring theme
One where I'm last to be picked on a team
Glossing me over and being unconditionally mean
Stepping on me to ruin my self-esteem
It's not some kind of game you can play
I'd fight you and beat you and win any day
Yet you continue to make me feel like prey
And have the audacity to ask, "are you okay"
Yes I'm weird, annoying, and loud
Those are the things that make me proud
It's not okay to put me down because I speak aloud
It hurts to be ignored and pushed away from the crowd
One where I'm last to be picked on a team
Glossing me over and being unconditionally mean
Stepping on me to ruin my self-esteem
It's not some kind of game you can play
I'd fight you and beat you and win any day
Yet you continue to make me feel like prey
And have the audacity to ask, "are you okay"
Yes I'm weird, annoying, and loud
Those are the things that make me proud
It's not okay to put me down because I speak aloud
It hurts to be ignored and pushed away from the crowd

Stuck in my Mind
Trapped inside my mind
Can anyone save me
I feel so alone here
Stuck with myself
All by myself
I reach out for a hand to hold
To no avail the emptiness stays
How can I get out of here with my sanity
This is where I lose my sanity
These rhymes and rhythms can't hold my words
I feel too much for words to express
I want to leave and fly
Take the jump and learn to fly
Can anyone save me
I feel so alone here
Stuck with myself
All by myself
I reach out for a hand to hold
To no avail the emptiness stays
How can I get out of here with my sanity
This is where I lose my sanity
These rhymes and rhythms can't hold my words
I feel too much for words to express
I want to leave and fly
Take the jump and learn to fly

Perfectionism in a Woman
What does the word perfection mean
It could mean being a Hollywood Queen
A Barbie Doll made full of plastic
Something that was never classic
An idol for the lost young girls
Someone who pushes looking like shiny pearls
But maybe perfection isn't a sex symbol
Maybe all girls don't need to be tiny and nimble
Plastic bodies could be the way
Depending on the feel of the day
Despite having different views
Learn to love everyone including you
Don't portray a woman as some voluptuous whore
Learn...
