decide what to be and go be it by christen strang of letter happy

decide what to be and go be it
there was a dream and one day i could see it
like a bird in a cage i broke in and demanded that somebody free it
and there was a kid with a head full of doubt
so i’ll scream til i die or the last of those bad thoughts are finally out

{free your mind by katie daisy}

“I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”

-Unkown

i’m not sure how you’re feeling today, but this puts words to a feeling that i’ve had for a few days now. i want to spread light today.
