You men think that you can extinguish our flames, and keep the fire all for yourselves.
You've forgotten, though, that you need matches to set the world ablaze.
And we have electricity coursing through our veins -- sparks sent straight from our souls to our fingertips -- and we could raze you to the ground with one little touch.
We never would, though.
Unlike you, we weren't built with a need to consume and destroy.

Nuance
nu*ance
- A subtle difference in or shade of meaning, expression, or sound.
We exist in the nuance
The in-between
The short pause between breaths
As we prepare
Think
Muse
Over what to say
The perfect words to stream together
To make the
Perfect
Sentance
Paragraph
Monologue
We live in the nuance
But some people pretend the world is
Black OR White
This OR That
Fact OR Fiction
Objectivity OR Emotion
Uncompromising
Exact
Rigid
Inflexible
Unyielding
Nuance is not just impermissible
It is unforgivable
Irrational
For the weak and feeble
For powerless, fragile, breakable
Victims
We are not human nor are we robots
And we can never even hope to be dancers
Walk a thin line
Sit up straight
Care
But not too much
From a distance
With aloof detachment
And sober stoicism
We exist in the nuance.
But for some,
Between the lines is a place they will never venture to read.
