“Feeling forgotten feels worst than dying” a poem by Eric King in solidarity with Chelsea Manning
They take away your voice you loose touch with yourself. If you aren’t moving forward do we even exist? Instagram, tinder, never made a hashtag. Everyone is street walking playing Pokemon Go I don’t even have a phone. It’s so easy to feel alone Feeling Forgotten Feels worse than dying.

The easiest thing in the world is to feel you’ve lost touch, and it hurts so much, Solidarity Chelsea
