The Truth Is
The Truth Is…
They’re never cared for the “Fate” - “Destiny” - “Prophecy” - “Purpose” or “Programming”,
They won’t go for whatever path was laid out for them,
They refuse to be what people always assume,
We will choose for ourselves!
We know the difficulty & heartache,
But we won’t be dragged down - held back or conform to be someone else,
The Truth Is… WE REFUSE!
We got to this place on our own & are never going back,
We’ve all gone have each others backs,
We’re connected!
A guard who turned to a crinson path - dusted with betrayal,
A parasite who lost a part of himself & the battles he once aided,
Someone who’s from mixed worlds of dancing - Of singing & music - Of infinite Galaxies - Of swapped rolls,
The one who’s world felt Electric with life that changed in the every aspect & Element,
The sinner who lost loved ones - his world & all he’d ever known,
The two who’ll only be seen as a tragic story of fused lives,
The one who had to live in a Misery he couldn’t fight,
The one who lived in a Misery he’d never stop fighting,
The one who always supported them no matter the consequence,
And all the ones who spread their Wings -
Who lost the fight against corruption -
Who have to repeatedly put themself back together -
Who are a Guardian & Ruler -
Who are haunted by past & future -
Who foretell death -
Who show a mischievous Flame -
Of toxic Pride -
Who watch the restless spirits -
Who will guard with the golden wing of ancient waters -
Who will fight alongside one with a burning silver heart -
A child of intertwined tragedy -
A child of curiosity and searing loyalty,
The Truth Is… We are Hidden & Seen,
We stay in the shadows - But play larger then Life,
We are equals - Yet NOT,
We are nobodies PUPPETS!
We choose who we are,
We are Free & we are United!
We are the outsiders of the abandoned,
They… WE are a family who’ll welcome Any & All,
Of any History or Demons,
The Truth Is… You’re never alone!

Science Fact Friday: Tetrodotoxin, ft. a small gif because I’m avoiding my real obligations. Why does tetrodotoxin not affect its host? More studies need to be done but at least a few species possess mutated sodium ion channels. The tetrodotoxin can’t interact efficiently with the altered channels.
Another interesting tidbit: Animals with tetrodotoxin can lose their toxicity in captivity. It is suspected that the animals accumulate the toxic bacteria as a side-effect of their diet. After several years of captivity on a tetrodotoxin-bacteria-free diet, the bacterial colonies living in the animals die, residual toxin is cleared from the system, and the animal is safe to handle.
