&lt;p&gt;I said nothing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But I would like to say here, that I will respect my elders when they respect me. Living longer doesn&amp;#8217;t make you more of a person than me. In addition, I don&amp;#8217;t really fucking care if people feel bad when I correct them, because they make me feel bad by being racist, and sexist, and overall offensive all the time. Just honestly, I feel that I could say worse things to these people than I do right now, and still be pretty justified.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So fuck the world.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And goodnight.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I hope all these people live nice, offensive lifestyles dragging their fellow humans through the mud while I sit by silently, correcting no one, and allowing it to happen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks for reading or whatever.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://thehallwayninja.tumblr.com/post/39267603166</link><guid>http://thehallwayninja.tumblr.com/post/39267603166</guid><pubDate>Sun, 30 Dec 2012 20:18:12 -0600</pubDate></item><item><title>Hey everybody, I started a new project.

&lt;p&gt;And like, not only were they not  listening, but they didn&amp;#8217;t even have the courtesy to tell me that they didn&amp;#8217;t have time to listen right now.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then I&amp;#8217;m quiet for like 15 fucking minutes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And they look over and say &amp;#8220;Okay, so what were you saying?&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What am I supposed to say in response to that total disregard for me and my opinions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Wait-tell me what you were saying before? I totally care now.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well you know what, fine. You want to know what I was talking about before? From now on, the forever response to that question will be the same.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My sick cup.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My sick cup has special healing properties which don&amp;#8217;t make me less sick but that makes me feel a little warmer inside.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;m very careful to only use it when I&amp;#8217;m sick.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I always use it when I have the cold or the flu or some other conventional type of sick.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I usually use it those few times I&amp;#8217;ve had to have surgery&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I use my cup for those kinds of sicknesses.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But every so often, when absolutely necessary, I use my sick cup for the sickness of the heart.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Because sometimes that needs healing too.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://thehallwayninja.tumblr.com/post/37294601541</link><guid>http://thehallwayninja.tumblr.com/post/37294601541</guid><pubDate>Wed, 05 Dec 2012 18:16:14 -0600</pubDate><category>poem</category><category>writing</category><category>sick cup</category></item><item><title>I can&amp;#8217;t remember the last time we played dolls

&lt;p&gt;or I watched you wash your hair in the lake&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I can&amp;#8217;t remember the last time you baked&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;or walked through the woods&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I can&amp;#8217;t remember the last time you forced me to play scrabble&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;or spent Christmas with me&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I can&amp;#8217;t remember the last time you hugged me too tight&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;or the last time I hugged you at all&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I can&amp;#8217;t remember the last time we did everything we used to do everday&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and now as everyday dwindles into somedays&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;m afraid of what to do with the days that used to be filled with you&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I tried to think of the best way to say goodbye to you&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;a way that would satisfy the both of us and everyone else we love&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;but how can I find the words and will to let you go&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;when all I want is to drop to my knees and beg you to stay with us&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;to play with dolls and wash your hair in the lake and hug me too tight&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and do all the things you used to do everyday with a smile that only you have&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I know that you can&amp;#8217;t&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and I always knew this was coming&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and that I would never be ready for it&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I guess&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;and it doesn&amp;#8217;t really matter that she&amp;#8217;s given me everything&lt;/p&gt;
