Just because I'm silent doesn't mean that I don't notice.
In fact that this silence is fucking deafening.

I'm sick and tired of being told what to do.
I'm sick and tired of being held in a contempt.
I'm sick and tired of all the fucking Fascists.
Why can't they let me speak my honest thoughts and opinions?
Will I threaten them if they let me?
I'm sick and tired of all the snide bullies.
Why can't they just leave me alone?
They should get a life and stop interfering mine.
