New Year's Resolutions

I don't make New Year's resolutions anymore 

I know myself and I won't keep them anyway 

Maybe it's my ADHD?

Maybe it's my anxiety? 

Maybe I'm just a seven? 

Maybe the expectations 

cause my hesitation?

Maybe I just don't want 

any more unnecessary stress?

Life is already chaotic as it is 

Why give myself another reason

to disappoint myself?

I don't make New Year's resolutions anymore 

I know myself and I won't keep them anyway 

and it's okay 

Sometimes Life

If God Is Good

I'm cool with Jesus 

But about God, I'm not sure 

They say that God is good 

But I have questions 

If God is good

Then why do the innocent suffer?

If God is good

Then why do the wicked prosper?

If God is good 

Then why did They create us 

then take a backseat 

basically just chill and split the scene?

People say we have freewill 

but that answer doesn't cut it for me 

If God is good 

Why do evil, injustice, and oppression reign?

Why does good seem to be done in vain?

They say don't be like Job

Don't question God

but I believe Job was just a story 

an allegory 

and I'm not afraid to say the things I think 

If God is good 

Why is it that in the ocean waves we sink?

I May Not Have My Shit All Together

 

I may not have my shit all together 

but compared to him as a person, I'm better 

Caring for others, he has never 

He just says "whatever"

The storms he creates

We have to weather 

I may not have my shit all together 

but compared to him as a person, I'm better 

I believe we should care for one another 

Neighbor, sister, brother 

Burdens aren't meant to be beared alone

My heart isn't made of stone 

I may not have my shit all together 

but compared to him as a person, I'm better 

He wreaks havoc 

He creates chaos 

I won't have it

I care for the ones who pay the cost

the storm-tossed, the lost

I may not have my shit all together 

but compared to him as a person, I'm better 

He only cares about himself and his wealth 

But I look outside myself 

I may not have my shit all together 

but compared to him as a person, I'm better 

I'm Down With

Fuck ice

That shit melts

I don't want it in my drinks 

or in our streets 

I don't bow down to wannabe dictator kings

But lemme tell ya, I love badass drag queens 

I'm down with 1A, free speech 

Protesting for democracy and civil rights 

Smashing the patriarchy 

Hot, nerdy people with banned books in the library 

Awakening the masses 

Fuck the fascists 

Let the free birds fly 

They can kiss our asses

I'm down with giving a damn about humanity 

Not just people who look like me 

Immigrants aren't our enemy 

I know that love really is a good thing 

It makes the world go 'round 

Go ahead, accuse me of "toxic empathy"

Being LGBTQIA+ isn't a sin

or a lifestyle or mental illness 

I don't believe the lies made up by some hateful human 

You can try to make me crumble 

You can try to make me change my mind 

But I have this inner strength 

I'm resilient 

Knock me down but I always get back up again 

I'm not good at praying 

but I'm good at putting my faith into action 

Talk is cheap 

So I'd rather show you what I believe 

I know wrong from right 

So I won't be silent 

I'll live my truth out loud with my life 

Give a Damn

They call me a socialist 

A "libtard", communist

Just throwing "insults" at me 

As if it's supposed to hurt my feelings 

I laugh at them because honestly 

Do I look like I give a fuck?

I'm down with Jasmine Crockett and AOC 

Badass queens 

and Grampa Bernie 

Fighting the fascist GOP

Someone's gotta give a damn

Stop settling 

Stop accepting less than 

What we deserve 

Stop tolerating the bullshit 

Wake up, people!

Wake up and give a damn 

The country is burning 

People are losing their rights 

Getting stolen in the night 

Lives on the line and we know why

Get up and give a damn 

I don't know about you 

but I'm not trying to live in Orwell's 1984

Power belongs to the people 

Now get up off your knees 

Get up now and take to the streets 

We have a right to peaceful protest 

We have a right to march 

Go to the history books

Take a good look 

Follow the lead of Dr. King

Learn the ways of John Lewis 

Be good trouble 

There'll be risk

We'll take hits 

But it'll be worth it 

Come with me now 

Give a damn 

I Like (pt. 2)

I like coffee at midnight 

and in the middle of the day 

It doesn't really matter when 

because it's never too early 

and it's never too late 

I like watching planes fly by

but now I'm hoping more than ever 

that they don't crash, explode

or fall out of the sky 

I like reading books that make me think 

and books that take me away from the insanity 

Sometimes I just need fantasy 

Dragons and unicorns in a far away land 

Aliens in spaceships to take me by the hand 

I like calling out bullshit 

and speaking up for people who can't defend themselves 

and standing up for what I believe in

even if I'm the only one 

because silence is compliance 

and silence is violence 

If I take a hit, then I take a hit

I like yelling, "FUCK THE PATRIARCHY!"

and showing off my "therapy dog"

to anyone who deserves it 

and coming up with a plan to overcome this shit

This isn't the world I wanna live in 

I like discussing theology and psychology 

and civil rights 

and asking questions 

and challenging the status quo

and learning nerdy science 

and trying to figure out the secret to life
