Contents

freedom is ideal

there’s no future

are you happy

when I leave

hands scarred

learn to walk away

the mind & heart

never

everything is perception

eyes reveal sunsets

the worst mind-fuck

I don’t see black

not everyone is a hero

who are you

on a white sheet of paper

music

sometimes

I do want to feel love

like any weapon

our first step to freedom

guilt hurts us

by labeling ourselves

don’t label me evil
