Ace of Spades

And if I had to stop and feel bad for every instance I’ve had to step on someone’s toes to keep the crown, I’d be very bored.

“They say life is full of surprises. That our dreams really can come true. Then again, so can our nightmares…”

No matter what I do, no matter how much I iron down the hair that springs from my scalp, or work as hard as I can, I’m always going to be other to them. Not good enough for this place I’ve tried to call home all my life.

I can “fix” the kinks in my hair, but not the kinks in this whole system that hates me and Devon and everyone who looks like us.

It hurts to dream, but I dream regardless.

But now I run to the bad for comfort.

Growing up, I realized quite quickly that people hate being called racist more than they hate racism itself.

They say love and hate are the same, just at different ends of the blade.

“I’m not sure when I’m gonna see you next, so I at least want a hug for the road.”
