I wish to face the silent
Condemn them for their hatred
Their apathy towards those not dead
And if I ever got the chance
All I would do is smile
Knowing that if there is a Hell
It will be filled with their screams
And I will finally know peace

I write as a means to heal. I hope my words can serve as a reminder, that we are not alone. That we all deserve to be heard and seen. [they/them]
