spring eye mind
spring is super in the supermarkets and the strawberries prance and glow never mind that they're all kinda tart and tasteless as strawberries go meanwhile wild things are not for sale anymore than they are for show so i'll be outside, in love with the kind of beauty it takes more than eyes to know
chairs middle comfortable
When you sit right down in the middle of yourself you're gonna wanna have a comfortable chair.
thinking hands space
When I need to wipe my face, I use the back of my hand, And I like to take up space just because I can, And I use my dress to wipe up my drink. I care less and less what people think.
music country growing-up
...when you grow up surrounded by willful ignorance, you have to believe that mercy has it's own country and that it's round and borderless...
thinking interesting dumb
One thing I do find in the "lost" generation or something is a kind of abhorrence of history, you know, like it's boring, dumb, or just not interesting. I think it's terribly interesting if you can get your head around how it relates to where you're standing right here and now.
art media water
We're led by denial like lambs to slaughter, serving empires of style and carbonated sugar water.
real fighting thinking
You've got your whole life to do something, And that's not very long. So why don't you give me a call When you're willing to fight For what you think is real, For what you think is right.
girl doom-and-gloom hatred
God forbid you be an ugly girl, 'course too pretty is also your doom, 'cause everyone harbors a secret hatred for the prettiest girl in the room.
vulnerability
Vulnerability is something that I negotiate every day.
heartless chalk hard
Every time I say something they find hard to hear, they chalk it up to my anger, and never to their own fear.
sadness heart mind
I know my mind is made of matter but I need to know exactly what is the matter at it's core? Because my heart is just a muscle and simply put, it's sore.
mirrors self-love able
I'd rather be able to face myself in the bathroom mirror than be rich and famous.
feminism concerned
There are so many things that we have to be very concerned about. But I always come back to feminism.
inspiring determination self
My idea of feminism is self-determination, and it's very open-ended: every woman has the right to become herself, and do whatever she needs to do.
