I Need You To Know
A Poem by The Poet of Black Wings
Silent
Lonely
Torture.
Have you ever experienced such?
Being bound and gagged,
Trapped in a
Tiny
Cell.
Imprisoned all
Alone.
I
Need you to
Imagine that.
Now, imagine that that
Prison
Is your own flesh.
The wardens,
Family,
Society,
And anyone you ever
Trusted.
Now,
Know it.
You won't be able to,
But try.
Think about how it would feel to
Escape.
Be
Free.
Fly away.
Then imagine being persecuted for it.
Hated, for it.
Anyone you've ever known.
Everyone you have ever loved,
Now
Despises you.
Just for being free.
And for being
Who.
You.
Are.
I
Need
You
To
Know,
What that feels like.
You won't, you can't,
But yoy have to try.
A young
Woman
Frees herself
From the prison of
Her own
Body.
The body of a
Man
Her family thought they knew.
But they didn't.
"He"
Never was,
And never will be.
And all
Hate her for it.
I need
You.
To.
Know.

Listen to Lou Reed's "Transformer". The whole thing.... not just "Walk on the Wild Side".
I think you'll enjoy that more than any stupid f*****g thing I have to say about your collection of words here, and s**t, etc..

Especially not the hunger games, cause i liked those books. But at least nowadays they can put cool looking extra scenes in, where as older books to movies are just kinda.... eh.

It's worse than you think.... they stretch it out... make it more obvious and rob any subtly it ever.. read moreIt's worse than you think.... they stretch it out... make it more obvious and rob any subtly it ever had. Original understanding is dead, the critics killed it. I love love love me some Ann Hornaday... but the rest... f**k you. Birdman... best movie of this century.

My issue is they tend to condense things instead of stretch it out.
