Arrested Development

I had the right to remain silent

so I chose to remain silent

by whatever means necessary 

still I stayed tuned in

even when I didn't tune in

I observed every action taken

heard every word spoken

and read every post on social media

I even read open letters written

by those attempting to justify

why such actions were taken 

I wanted so badly to respond 

but I knew my response

would simply be a reaction

driven by emotion

perpetued by ignorance

so I chose to remain silent

yet attentive

there were plenty of cheers

and many in tears

so I can no longer be silent

which means I give up that right

because as we all know 

it's hard for me to stop resisting

L.O.V.E. Notes: Los Olvidados

Has sido abandonado
dado por muerto
y deshonrado
por familia 
así llamados amigos 
casi todo el mundo 
eso te enfurece
porque hay un momento
cuando no entendes lo que está pasando
o por qué está pasando
solamente sientes el dolor
y sientes que no te lo mereces
pero no eres la única
vives en un mundo bien frío
lleno de gente abandonada
dada por muerto
y deshonrada
es importante recordarles
porque juntos
somos los olvidados
