Pardon me if I'm wrong
Perhaps I'm just an idiot
I do not take advantage of the road I take
Paved with the blood sweat and tears
Of my ancestors
I do not go to college just for a degree
The paper at the end of four years does not matter to me
The classes I take do not simply fulfill a requirement
I do not study latin just to say Pulchra Femina es to a friend
I looked at someone today, and
Yes, I was colored by curiosity
Becasue my life is more than a few words
Read from a computer screen for a test I will take on Friday
I do not learn to say I know
I learn to expect I know nothing
The classes I attend have a purpose
The money I pay
The debt I choose
Is not for you or my employer
To say that it didn't matter
Yes, my school is too expensive
And yes, the programs I participate in will decorate my resume
But today, I looked at my friends
Crowded around a table to have fun
Like childish adults just trying to make sense of everything
And I knew I never wanted anything less
Then an education.
I want to learn from my peers
Engage in this class,
Maybe try hard or not try at all
But give this road a chance to shine
For the rhyme
I will make of it
If education was free how many people
Would take a class just to know
What color frogs turn in winter
And if Edgar allen poe knew her.
I embrace my debt because it is a privilege
To know my family supports my decision
Even if my bank account runs dry
And the stress piles high
Because being educated is important
At least to me
And I can't
For the life of me
Think of a reason to ban it.
The children in the schools don't know their letters,
But they know how to hide from an active shooter,
They can't use their mind but
They can leave me behind
In a race for their lives.
Maybe I misspoke
I need to know my place, right?
I can't be too woke,
But dammit I can fucking fight.
Fight for the children who deserve to read,
Fight for the young adults who yearn to be
In college
Fight for the women who are fighting for their right,
Fight for the man I call my best friend,
Whose very existence is the definition on rebellion
Fight for the change I want to see,
Even if that change means going back to just yesterday
i was trying to collect more shitty ms paint doodles we all use and vibe with and then i realize i also have ms paint and can just MAKE some
"if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life" except i do love writing, and yet every time i open my document, i feel like a victorian child being sent to the coal mines, so where’s the lie.
Merlin: Freya is banned from the local tavern so we had to go to the next town over.
Freya: They shouldn't call it "all you can eat" if they don't mean it.
Merlin: Cariad, you ate a barkeep.
Me: hi Friend: Me: how are you? Friend: Me: listen here you little shit
Merlin Soulmate AU where there's a string of fate that only Sorcerers can see. He is obviously connected to Arthur, because two sides of a coin their destiny is intertwined etc etc.
He one day off-handedly mentions it in a conversation with Gaius, who suddenly seems Very Interested in what colour the string is.
---
Merlin: It's red and gold because he's a Pendragon, that's like their whole thing. Even with your old eyesight you can see the banners around the castle come on-
Gaius, who stopped listening at 'Red' and is trying to process Merlin not only liking men, but his romantic soulmate being the Once and Future King: uh huh, yeah.
---
Merlin, three weeks later: Hey, why is Lancelot and Gwen's string also Red? Is Lancelot actually a Pendragon?!
Gaius, who's life is flashing before his eyes:
---
Merlin, after looking up soulmate strings in The Book, muffled through the wall of his chambers: WHAT?!
Arthur, being treated by Gaius when he took a hit in training:...um, Gaius?
Gaius: He's been at the tavern again your majesty.
