House of Cards
Democracy is fragile as a house of cards with many, many layers
Many, many pieces
Many, many things that could go wrong
The slightest breath, enough to bring the whole thing crumbling

Him
He doesn’t look at me
Like I look at him
I know exactly what he does at recess
Where he eats lunch
His middle name
I know what books he likes
What video games
I’ve slept in the same room with him -
Treadmill
Sometimes I feel like I am running on a treadmill towards a big shiny sign that says “Relaxation.” Surronding the big shiny words are lots of other words.

Too much
I am 13
I am in 7th grade.
I like school. Most of the time.
I am quite good at school.
I'm in all the advanced classes offered. 3 years ahead in Math, 3 years ahead in my English vocab, and on the hardest History track.

The irony is not lost on me. The day that Donald J. Trump will be inaugurated, is the same day as Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Justice
The justice part of the American justice system has left the building.
You should absolutely not be able to convict someone of a crime and have them suffer zero consequences.

No parole.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
We’ve known each other
Since we’ve been in school
We were inseparable
Through elementary and high

Halls
the doors
are left open
for him
to walk through
and brightly lit
with all
he will ever need
when beside him
there is a girl
stumbling through
a dark hall
unable to find her way

AHHHHHHH
I keep wondering if something is wrong with me,
Because I can’t seem to understand.
And I don’t want to be the person that only writes about crushes and drama,
I’m not shallow don’t worry.
Yet here I am,

Trust
They tell me I can trust them with anything.
They tell me not to hide.
They tell me that they won't tell anyone.
But...
They never think about why I can't trust them.
They never think about why I hide.
