Sometimes You Have To Choose The Neural Pathway Less Traveled In Your Brain

Feeling like you shouldn't mess

With the timing

Feeling like you're dead when the night comes

Feeling like you shouldn't negotiate

Feeling like you're drowning too often

Feeling like you can't touch the bottom

Wouldn't it be wise to just cry for help?

You suffer with sophistication

Tell it like you live in a nightmare

You dream of liberation

You love your preoccupation

Looking like you live in a daydream

You see with your soft demeanour

Settle, cease and surrender

It's been a long time since you spoke up

Or revealed where you hurt

You feel with an extra feeling

Sensitive to the meaning

It's been a long time since you cried out

Feeling like you shouldn't mess

With the timing

Feeling like you're dead when the night comes

Feeling like you shouldn't negotiate

Feeling like you're drowning too often

Feeling like you can't touch the bottom

Wouldn't it be wise to just cry for help?

You see with your soft demeanour

Settle, cease and surrender

It's been a long time since you spoke up

Or revealed where you hurt

You feel with an extra feeling

Sensitive to the meaning

It's been a long time since you cried out

“Power doesn’t have to show off. Power is confident, self-assuring, self-starting and self-stopping, self-warming and self-justifying. When you have it, you know it.”

— Ralph Ellison, Invisible Man

hmm. maybe u were put on this earth to make art and write bad poetry and create silly little playlists and being kind and maybe tearing up a little bit when you see old people eating alone

“Our generation thinks it’s cool not to care. It’s not. Effort is cool. Caring is cool. Staying loyal is cool. Try it out.”

— Post Malone

“Come love, make me better than I was. Come teach me a kinder way to say my own name.”

Taylor Swift should not have been Times' person of the year -not the hot take it should be. Everything about this person's response 👏🏻 I'm 100% aligned with. There are so few ethical celebrities and NO ethical billionaires, and that's an important reminder to us all. This is such an important video.
