Bleak Fate


I want to live! Live without the suppression of who I am. Live without the regret of what I should be. Live without the tolerance of guarded emotion. Have a ritual of union Without my freedom denounced Praise my courage, god damnit I've earned it. I salute the red, white and blue, although we still attain hatred in our minds. Because what is freedom when a vote determines my happiness?

I've always been so apprehensive about showing my thoughts. I want to feel like I relate to someone; for once in my life.
