Today I am afraid
For today my life
Lies in the hands of people
Who see me as a monster
A destroyer
Today I am afraid
For the day I finally can stand
My legs will be broken
By people
Stronger and more powerful than me
And in a week
My life will lie in the hands
Of the people
Who hate me
Just to spread
The hate in their hearts
Posted in response to the challenge Nov. 5 Election.
There’s a dog that sits on the end of my street—
he barks at anyone that nears,
snarling teeth that glow shiny in the afternoon light.
There’s a dog that sits on the end of my street—
You asked me to stay
As you gazed into the future
Longing once more
I am not a poet
I don’t know how to use my words the way they can
I can’t captivate the minds of my friends by stringing them along with the simplest of words
I am not a musician
