I Can Just Be Me When I'm With You
When I’m with you, my heart is light.
I don’t feel the need to smile, smile, smile, laugh, laugh, laugh.
I can just be me.
And that feels amazing.
When we’re together, my smiles and laughter are genuine, not forced.

One King
When did our country become a monarchy?
When did it become an autocracy?
We vote, yes
But this new ruler
This new president
This new king
He’s broken law after law
Stripped away peoples rights

I Can’t Believe We Call This a Democracy
I can’t believe we call this a Democracy.
We voted, sure.
But did we really end up with a president?
Or do we now have a king?
Sure, his term is said to end in four years.

All Humans are Created Equal
We stood up to a tyrant once.
And now it’s time to again.
We need to stand up for the rights we were supposed to get so long ago.
“All men are created equal.”

My Community
The people around me, my friends, my family, my peers.
I see them every day, barely talk to most of them.
But they are my community.
They know me, or parts of me.

We are the People
We are the people.
The girl who wears every scar like a trophy.
The boy who struggles with reading.
The kid who protests for their rights.
The mother who works 3 jobs to pay the bills.

A Kindle of Kindness
Did you have a face
or was that a blur as well?
Did you have bird knees
or were they only your favorite?
Were you or did you?
You had your platform with your mike you spoke cheerfully into

Real happiness
From past friends
or mild acquaintances
there will be times where I am not only acknowledged
but appreciated
it makes me happy
makes me content

Batman Toasters
Batman toasters gave me you.
They gave me a best friend
who laughed with me when no one else would
and ran away from the wasps during recess
(we always went near the fence/shade from trees)

Hope, maybe
…what is this?
Is it…
No.
It can’t be.
But…
It looks like…
Good news?
And a feeling, something almost forgotten.
Hope?
Shhhhhhh, no no no no no!
We mustn’t jinx it.
It’s so rare

(you made me feel)
I'll forget
(the exact words,
too many to remember)
(I wish I wouldn't,
I want to have you with me
always)
what you said.
I'll forget
(if we shared lunch
or went downtown
