This summer, I began to care

about 9/11, the war, the civilian deaths, the soldiers' deaths, veterans, loss, death penalty, healthcare system, flaws of capitalism, the poor, the sick...basically, OTHER people with whom I share nothing. Thanks, Michael Moore, and the movies and books I watch and read.

I want to create a world where

people don't hate those who they do not know.

Numb

I did nothing wrong.
But I was ready for a fight.
But there was no fight,
just words and tears.
And then a fight between them.
More tears. More.
And then, just numbness,
my heart was emptied out.
