Summertime
once again and
I can feel
the warmth on my skin
we sit beneath
a tree in Fairmount
with your head on my lap
and I know
that we
have come so far together
and
we both know
that we would do anything for each other
and I
can’t see myself
going
anywhere else
but here
in your arms
where I
have felt safest for so long
I know sometimes it might feel like you are doing nothing helpful, but I just want you to know that you mean the world to me.

Sweep me off my feet
I’m in need of something sweet
Grab me by the throat and beat the shit out of me
Just like you used to
Just like you used to
Does it feel familiar?
Does it give you power?
Does it feel good to watch me cower?
So, what the fuck does it feel like
to have everything you ever want?
Something seems so out of place
and I can’t
ever
seem to piece myself out
I can’t
even remember
who
I
am
I’m trying to be honest
but should I just kill myself?

You never asked what we all wanted
and we were starving half the time
as
all of our relationships began to unwind
and the family fell apart
We all knew it from the beginning
we all knew where it would start
In the end it was never about us
just about who could get more fucked up
I don’t know how you could live with yourself after that so why do I want it back? I don’t know how you could live with yourself after that so why do I want it back? I don’t know how you could live with yourself after that so why do I want it back? I don’t know how you could live with yourself after that so why do I want it back?
I thought these days would never end
I thought happiness was gone for good
Oh, to be blissfully
ignorant while you remained indifferent
about your children’s
suffering and I'm still struggling
How many years later and I’m still fucking suffering?

Every
day it seems
like we
are moving backwards
straight to
the past
and all the
hope has shattered
and lately
it seems
like we
can’t be
safe in
our own skin
wearing our own clothes
and I’m so fucking scared to leave the house all alone
We shouldn’t have to deal with all this fear just because we’re fucking queer
It’s time to take back our comfort and our happiness in ourselves
because if we let them take what little semblance of sanity we have left
what does that make us other than meat?
It’s time for us to stand up to all of those who have oppressed us because all of those who were silent were the first to be killed by them and I won’t sit idly by while I can be the one in between someone who can’t defend themself and a fascist who can’t exist without thinking they’ve won a war that they’ve always been losing. Every day is so much worse than the last and no matter how happy we are they always have to bring down our joy because their lives are so worthless and so full of so much fucking hate.
