Pardon Me If I'm Wrong

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

"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.

Comic of BBC Merlin characters, centered around Merlin. Gaius's monologue is overlaid on the pages. Only the flowers are in color.
Gaius: Today is a day where we give flowers...
He gives Merlin a flower. The latter is confused but takes it.
Gaius: ...whether it be out of friendship...
Morgana and Guinevere give Merlin flowers while he carries laundry.
Gaius: ...in gratitude...
Merlin walks down the hall, having collected flowers from passing servants.
Gaius: ...appreciation...or even...
The knights surprise Merlin with a small bouquet each, Gwaine being the most enthusiastic. A close up of Merlin turning his head, showing an embarrassed smile and flowers all over his hair and neckerchief.
Merlin is shocked to see Arthur, who's holding a huge bouquet of roses for him. Gaius passes by and walks on with a smile.
Gaius: One day, I hope you see just how loved you are.
The men are both blushing profusely. Merlin points to himself to confirm the roses are for him while Arthur stands there.

flowers for you
