I wish I could say

that I am a peaceful warrior,

but I know it’s not true.

I can hurt.

I can be malicious.

I can spit arrows

with my mouth,

through my words,

with an intention to slay

all false authority,

with an intention

to cut through the bullsh*t,

with an intention to tear down

what no longer sustains us.

It’s not who I truly am.

It’s just an act.

I know.

It’s something I need to do

in order to challenge,

move,

direct,

elevate,

and help set humanity free.
