Used to spend my days as a kid reading books that put wild thoughts in my head.
Parents wouldnât let me work so I could get good grades, make a life for myself, and move away.
We could give our bodies for social protest and not give a damn about the future consequences.
Speak for yourself on your own two feet. When youâve got kids and rent, then come and see me.
I keep reminding myself I make mistakes all the time.
Holding to higher standards, unreachable lines.
Hereâs to promises we try to keep.
Iâd like to take back some things that were said.
Itâs hard to see things through when youâve got the upper hand.
Hindsight seems like a poor excuse for being bored and angry with nothing to lose.
Learning thereâs more than violence to radical politics.
How I became a twenty-something anarcho-feminist.
Shut it behind you when you walk out that door.
Keep reminding yourself, âif youâre not now, you never were.â
