I wonder if karma's real. Or if God is real. Maybe most of the stuff that people believe isn't true. And no matter what they think, the world doesn't ever do anything but move on. - Me :}
This is one of the two poems that I wrote this year for a black history assembly at my school.
Blind
Can’t see it.
Can’t feel it.
Can’t recognize it.
You’re blind.
You turn away from the struggle of others.
You won’t hear about the injustice.
You pretend it’s all in the past.
You’re blind.
Don’t act like isn’t here.
Don’t act like it isn’t there.
Don’t make-believe it's all gone away.
Don’t look away from all the pain.
Your guilt is telling you to turn away.
Your fear is making you hateful.
Your hate is turning you violent.
Your ignorance has made you blind.
I honestly don't understand why they decided to make Kurt want to ban dodgeball out of nowhere after one incident, but not even consider banning slushies, which was literally a big part of the school's bullying problems. Idk, it's just never made any sense to me. But then again, hardly anything in this show makes sense.
i have this posted on my page but : i think the reason steve is super buff is so that he would be able to defend himself from his dad's beatings. if he were strong his dad couldn't hurt him so bad. he wanted to help johnny but he never got the chance and feels super guilty abt it
This is very interesting! I can definitely see this being canon, and thinking about him wanting to help Johnny but not being able to hurts in the best way possible. Thank you :)
I lie to myself all the time, but I never believe me. -SE Hinton, The Outsiders.
After the events of the book, Two Bit’s jokes lessened and definitely got quieter until he sort of lost his spark :(
Steve constantly snaps at the gang after their deaths, and is super irritated all the time, to the point he’d start to distance himself
I think this would be canon post-book! Thanks for responding! And I feel like he might distance himself from the rest of the gang, and maybe even start to do the same with Soda.
One of my headcanons is Johnny's biracial (like 25% Pawnee) and thats another reason he gets made fun of
I've kind of thought about this as well!
I know, somehow, that only when it is dark enough can you see the stars. -Martin Luther King
Reading is fundamental, but critical thinking is essential. -Me :)
(would've been good to post this in February, but I didn't give a crap about tumblr in February so this is what I'm doing)
What I am is smart and kind.
What you are is ignorant and blind.
What I am is black and beautiful.
What you are is vile and unhelpful.
It's not my fault that you hate me so.
Just because my skin is not the color of winter snow.
It's not my fault you will stoop so low.
So, I will walk on as calmly, as the summer wind blows.
Don't you see it's not important where you come from?
What matters is if you treat people like scum!
So, you can keep talking and thinking the way that you do.
But don't be surprised when karma comes to have a chat, with you.
(I know it's not that good, but I wrote this when I was 13 for a black history assembly we did at my school and it's really the first piece of poetry I did that wasn't god-awful)
