There could be no doubt. The pigeons were out to get him.
It didn’t come as much of a surprise to Nelson, who saw a kind of kinship between the pigeons and people of London. Both flocked to the streets in droves whenever the sun could be bothered to show itself. Both moved in jagged, unpredictable lines. And both were undeniably stupid.
And that wasn’t Nelson’s opinion, it was an undeniable ...
You have a loud voice, but maybe it’s triumph——
Triumph to grab all the attention in a room
Triumph enough to shove all your doubts away and face anything head-on

You never follow directions, but maybe it’s daring——
Daring to do things whichever way you want
Daring enough to look at our angry faces without fearing
Daring enough to be able to ...
Lying can only get you so far
It can get you a broken car
Lying can also get you to hide your real feelings
While not beneficial, they are temporary humans
Don’t actually do that though
It’ll make you worse, and only make a bad show
Liars know how to manipulate the vulnerable
And make them extremely uncomfortable
(I really don’t know how I was supposed to make this work, im sorry.)...
“I don’t care. I don’t care. I don’t care.” I continue repeating myself because maybe I can trick my brain into believing me. “I don’t care.” Even I can hear the falter in my voice. “It doesn’t matter that he’s gone.

I don’t hate anyone. To me hate is wishing for someone’s non-existence. I don’t hate Woods. I want him to exist. Just not in my professional life. The relationship between a manager and their employees should be symbiotic. Communication is the key to success in any business. Valuing your employees and paying fair wages is obvious. Right? Shouldn’t it be? Woods seems to disagree. Yet that lack of c...
She was someone who dared to step out of her boundaries for the greater good of her own benefits but she had struggled to see that within her. She was someone who knew how fragile she was but instead would carry heavy stones on her back because it made her look strong. She was someone who felt saddened by the evils of past relationships but wouldn’t admit to her obsession of these addictions. She ...
My blood has boiled at the thought of her since the 8th grade. If there is one thing in this world I still have left to hold onto, it is the animosity I have against her. I’ve tasted this bitterness in my mouth for so long that I forget that there were once sweeter days. Believe it or not, she and I were once best friends. One was never seen without the other. That was until Valentine’s Day. It wa...
