It took a lot of pain before my suffering looked Beautiful

I don't know how long I screamed

But no one ever came

I had to stand up on my own

Take my own hand and bolt

Breaking through the haze

Just to escape this maze

Bleeding for your gaze

Just to gain your praise

But you don't know who you raised

It had to be this way

You will die with me.

I don't wanna make ppl feel guilty for celebrating Christmas but I think how crazy it is that so many American Christians r pro israel and go on "pilgrimage" to occupied palestine and palestinian Christians living in the birth country of Christianity have refused to do celebrations in the midst of the genocide

It doesn't look the way you wanted it to

But it feels so liberating

I know you wanted me to come home

I want you to know I am home

-Now I can go anywhere I want
