nothing is as tender as annotating your favourite books. it’s like leaving a piece of your heart on the pages for somebody else to find.

Anger Is Heat

It starts as a spark, a flicker. It start as a glimpse. For only a moment, the darkness is seized. For only a moment.

Then

Another strike of the match and the room bursts into flames.

Ever corner. Every crevice. Light spreads like a disease.

It's cool, touchable almost- at first. It dances atop your fingertips.

You could extinguish it easily, a simple breath could end it. You should blow it out now.

And then it is warm.

It is the heat of a summer's day. Next it is the steam of a kettle. Within seconds it is the flame of candle.

And then it's the sun.

It burns everything it touches, dressing you in charcoal, leaving you steaming.

Destruction.

Damage.

You opened that window and that fire spread. Sucked out into the fresh air. The cool air.

You should have blown it out.

You can't take back the burns. The scars. The pain. You can't take back the fire.

You can't take back the heat.

The Lie

You love her. You know you love her. Like you've never loved anyone else- anything else. She's so fucking lovable. Your heart swells at the sight of her, beats faster. Butterflies in your stomach. Euphoria tugs at the corners of your mouth. The room just lit up when she walked through that door. She's so fucking lovable.

But

"I love you too." There it is. The lie you knew would come. Of course it's a lie. How could she love you? How could something as dirty, as tainted, as sinful, as a lie come out of her mouth?

But

Of course it's a lie. She is so fucking lovable. She is easy to love. She doesn't take time to love. She doesn't take effort. Thought. Strength.

To love her is to breathe. The air filling your lungs, the adoration filling your heart- they're one in the same. To love her is to breathe. To live.

But

You. You are not so lovable. You are smoke in the air. To love you is to choke. To claw at your throat and gasp for air. For her.

You've suffocated others enough to know this. Of course it's a lie. How could she love you? How could anyone?

Not even you can.

Do America and the rest of the world know what's happening in Australia?

Our supermarkets are fucking bare. We have no food, no toiletries, no basic essentials.

This might not seem like a big deal to some, but this - added to the stress of the pandemic - it's gonna add to the death rate of our most vulnerable members of society.

And our cock head of a prime minister is spending time and money on tanks. What the fuck do you need those tanks for Scott?There'll be no one to operate them if we've all starved to death.

When talking to people about this they say shit like "just grow your own food" as if it's that easy. I'm telling you the second I start to feel hunger pains from starvation, I'm driving a fork through Scott Morrison.

When the people shall have nothing more to eat, they will eat the rich

Our government is trying to kill us. The poor, the disabled, the elderly, and everyone else who they view as subhuman, and nobody's saying anything.

They're acting like it'll be fixed within a month. As if this country's apathetic bitch ass leaders are good at fixing things.

The Liberal party is crushing this country into the ground and it's using the working class as it's hammer.

(Aus liberal is different than USA liberal)

I wonder if those psychotic Republicans in America chanting "save Australia" are actually gonna do anything now, or pretend they don't know what's happening and leave us dying in the gutter like they've always done.
