I know that it’s strange to say, but I truly wish I was colorblind right now. Color is an amazing thing. People have studied color and the effect it has on people for years. One of the best examples is probably Baker-Miller Pink, or more commonly known as drunk tank pink. Baker-Miller pink is a vibrant and unique shade of pink. In the 60s and 70s a man was conducting research on how color could cause emotional and hormonal changes in the people looking at the color and he discovered that Baker-Miller Pink lowered the heart rate, pulse and respiration of the people viewing the color. This started a landslide of jails painting their cells this specific shade of pink. Football teams would paint the opposing team's locker rooms pink in hopes of calming the athletes down and diminishing their ability to play effectively. What the researcher failed to advertise was that exposing people to Baker-Miller pink for longer than 15 minutes would actually cause the people viewing it to experience
Like your child Who’s roaming deep in the dark Who’s roaming to find a way out I would tell you the story of my love Like your child I would share with you my life I would never say goodbye But in your heart I’m not alive Like your child I would tell you the truth from my side Like your child I’d listen to your lessons of life But you don’t wanna be And like your child I would always teach you some new Like your child I would make you so proud But you don’t wanna be my parent, homophobic You’re homophobic, you’re homophobic And in my heart you’re not alive as well How I was hoping that this isn’t now ending How I was hoping for your understanding But you’re homophobic, not alive And I’m not your child Like your child I would tell you the truth from my side Like your child I’d listen to your lessons of life But you don’t wanna be And like your child I would always teach you some new Like your child I would make you so proud But you don’t wanna

In The Freezing Winds Of Fall
In the freezing winds of fall I am the warm light house Burning through the night Even though it seems so hard In the freezing winds of fall I don’t care if I’m beaten blue Even if the whole forest is breaking on me I carry my pain without words In the freezing winds of fall Such house should have never survived Holding its healing light While hatred is tearing the roof The light that never goes out Is the light that knows how to love Without recalling how it is to be loved Without being awaited in this fallen world In the freezing winds of fall The world wants your heart to be breaking Like a forest tree when the storm is on Like a blooming tree by the human hand
‘You are my sunshine, my only sunshine’ I whispered as I kissed your hair. You always look so peaceful, especially on still nights like this. It reminds me of when we first met.
I was walking through the park on a fresh spring day. Birds sang softly and the fresh blossoms seemed to turn, hoping to just catch a glimpse of your radiance. The sun reflected of your golden hair and your eyes were pools of blue wonder. I don’t think you noticed me right away, but I remember staring at you completely awestruck. It was like my world became hole the moment I saw you on that broken park path.
Our first date was even better. We went

Patient Zero: Thyroiditis Pestis
This is an official transcription of the note found among Patient Zero’s personal effects, located at the North End Military Hospital. My body hasn’t always been the most healthy.

From dislocating joints, to a mild seizure disorder; I would be a prime candidate for frequent flyer miles at any hospital. You can’t say I was terribly shocked when I started having weird symptoms; between the medical problems I knew about and the medications I was on, I figured feeling drained all the time was normal. The same feeling of expected normalcy hit when I started losing more hair, getting cold easily, being irritable, and even forgetful. A healthy body can only handle so much, so being aware of my body’s disadvantages it didn’t take me long to sweep my symptoms under the rug. That was until I was showering a few days ago, and found the lump in my neck. It wasn’t huge,
