DAISIES. DAZES.

and like a balloon

you took off in the sky

floating higher and higher

you moved out of sight

it’s more than just your head in the clouds

you’ve fully committed to that life now

distant but watching

moving freely with the winds

disconnected

untethered

Today is the first day of the weeklong strike for a ceasefire in Gaza.

I have realized that I do not think the message has spread far, at least on this website. This might be due to the lack of internet in Gaza, it has been down for days. Not much can be said by the citizens there, it's like some people forgot about them. I encourage all of you to share this post, or make your own, letting everyone know about this strike. This is something that should transcend the aesthetic of your blog. My blog was a gimmick blog, but for this week, it is a blog for spreading information and awareness.

Bisan Odwa (@wizard_bisan1 on instagram) has called for this strike. She is a journalist from Gaza, who has been experiencing this horrid violence for 15 weeks. 107 days. 2568 hours.

These were the images she posted, calling for this strike:

Reblog this, share this. Do not stop until every supporter of Gaza knows what we must do this week.

I’m loving it

it’s exhilarating

it makes me feel alive again

i’m soaring now

up in the clouds

far from earth with one way down

the crash that’s coming

might be the one

I might fall too hard too fast

and with nothing to grasp

breathe my final breaths

The darkness swirled inside threatening to spill out from every pore on my body.

The darkest of thoughts running to the forefront of my mind,

Daring me to do the worst of things.

Telling me it'll feel better,

I'll feel better once it's done.

The dark void,

Swallowing me up as if I was a small piece of bread.

I was nothing but a vulnerable,

Weak person,

Who couldn't fight for themselves.

I was losing the battle once more with no light in sight.
