Someone said something about exeggutor not hearing you, probably. This is how it went in my head.

I wish I could do to you the things you do to me.
Especially when you make me feel warm and light and safe and worth it as a person.

I wanted to say something, anything, about all the extrajudicial killings that have been happening recently. I wanted to say something, anything, about how cruel all this is. I wanted to raise even more concern in hopes that it would reach people who can make direct change.
I wanted to say something, anything, about how the depressing amount of deaths covered in cardboard make those deaths blurred and little as they’re all slowly bunched together, with no prime suspects.
I wanted to say something, anything about how fortunate most of us are. How most of us are fortunate to be just onlookers of these events and not victims.
But what can we do?
All I can do is say something, anything, but change is still up to them, isn’t it?
But surely, our mindset of seeing these deaths as “good”, is what we can change by ourselves right now.
