A Raging Raven

@rage-filled-raven.bsky.social

Happiness splintered
By Reality's weight
Won't let it stop me
From changing our fate

They say I'm insane
Far out of my league
Watch me go farther
Than you ever conceived

Nothing will change
If we don't go beyond
The limits we're framed in
By cowards that abscond
