BRAVE/Unarmed/American

*is

To my friend who was accidentally shot by her sister and to her family who were destroyed, to my niece’s teacher who stepped in front of a bullet for his students, to the peaceful protesters putting their lives on the line to make our world safer, to the drag queens tackling active shooters. Thank you for your service and sacrifice. Let’s change our culture from a gun culture to one of unarmed bravery. You can’t be brave unless you’re afraid. <3Kat

I can feel the outside inside
Can you feel it inside your mind
All we do is run around it
aiming all our anger at it

Does it make you feel powerful
holding your fear made of metal?
Arm your children with your best pain
mourn them when they lose your mad game

Standing up to face your ire
courageous in a place of fire
America, you are the brave one
unarmed and a threat to no one
