“Mirrors”
Feminism is defined as the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes. Women often feel pressured to conform to societal standards and expectations particularly of beauty and behavior. Only through self-reflection and self-awareness can these expectations and societal restrictions be broken.
I dare live against the ropes of the makeshift beliefs of man
A great disorder
I will not close my eyes
For fear it will have its way with me

“You Reap What You Say”
“The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” (Proverbs 18:21). I came across this idea due to an incident involving some loved ones. They and I are diagnosed with depression in which sometimes it is a struggle to jump on things. Of course, during this political debate everyone has their opinions and views on their different parties. In which a debate escalated into words such as “Go Kill Yourself” in which little did the person know that they did multiple times as well as trying to involve their children. The only difference between them and I is our coping mechanisms and the way we express things. That person is still slowly trying to find their way, their happiness. As with me, I had to learn how to control my controllables.

"How Man Affects the Environment”
Sometimes when we want something we turn our heads from what it took to get it. We never notice the damage caused until it is shown to us.

“To the Near Future”
Picturing a future where green is everywhere and growing freely in our society. Global warming is decreasing and the streets are universally clean and sustainable. The future is colored in flowers growing from concrete, every second counts to make the air smell sweet. In the newer future the water is cleaner and mother earth is at peace with society. Every second and action counts to make this tomorrow a today. So let’s head to the near future.

“Money Is a Seed”
Why don't we plant out money like seeds
Like it's involuntary
pretend broke just like the Jeffersons
Instead of keeping up with the Jones
Just trying to get an impression
Now that's an visual illusion those
Nice Cars
Nice shoes
High Fashion
but Debt so far behind it’s everlasting
Why not buy little things that gives you equity, you know big assets
Money a seed that just needs to be planted

“Tech Takeover”
Technology tracks our every move. It has latched on to us like a flea to skin, seeing everything you see, responding to everything you do. It’s a part of you, learning everything about you, and like a parasite sinking in your skin for more.
