Sometimes I wanna take DT and throw him down to B2

A transparent persona anyone can see through

But we’re all just pawns to the big dogs right, what can we do?

Yo whoever he grabbed by the p should’ve tweeted “Me too”


But Trump just represents a problem, the guy ain’t the root

If you think things like racism or sexism started with him, I think that’s cute

I know there’s usually a lot of hate for the head honcho in a suit

Even from me, but if I said he created this mess, I wouldn’t be saying the truth


This has been going on for years, piling fears

Of people who aren’t from where we are, leaving trails of tears

Shunning those who live differently, no cheers if we’re drinking beers

And you just happen to identify as being queer


Or catcalling the opposite sex, which happens way more to girls

Half the world feeling uncomfortable around the other half of the world

Guys thinking dirty at midnight or like whoever’s next to 'em has a stack of pearls

Grabbing bags from who they can or yelling at people to give ‘em a twirl


Now I am not a saint, even though I don’t do things like this

If I thought just because I didn’t that I’m good, I’d be living ignorantly in bliss

If I thought just cause none of that happened to me, so it’s something I could dismiss

I guess I’d technically be okay helping only myself, but that ain’t the point of this


Now I’m not saying if you hear a stranger scream get ready to get into a fight

Although it’d be badass, it ain’t a bad thing to keep violence out of your sight

If you can, help someone know wrong from right

Cause some people just don’t know, and if everyone sees and no one says, they still might


They might do it again, they might try something worse

I’m not just talking about catcalling or stealing a purse

You can be the difference between a person ending up in a hospital or being the nurse

Or the difference between them driving a Bentley or rolling in the back of a hearse


Like school, where the work sucks but it’s a place full of dreamers

If you work at one or are the parent of a student, remember you're both teachers

I sound preachy but I sure as hell don’t want you to be a preacher

Just do your job the best you can and shape the future by improving its features


Help them learn, create the turn

Of a new leaf for the better

Make their minds churn, let the humility burn

Cause a hard working, educated individual

Is way better than an ignorant idiot on top with all the cheddar

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
