“and when we speak we are afraid
our words will not be heard
nor welcomed

we are still afraid
So it is better to speak
remembering
we were never meant to survive”

― Penelope Fletcher, Venomous

“True leaders serve the people. They have no power but what we lend, and what I give in good faith can be taken away.” “The wealthy own my world.” “Then it is broken.”

“Am I radiating openness? Do you feel the warmth of the springtime sun when I'm near? If so, please understand that sensation is actually my fiery disdain.”
