1920 days

192o days

Until the next election

Each day a struggle

1920 days of living

In this place

How many laws and bills can be made

In this place

How many people can get hurt

How many people will cry

How many people will fear for their life

As an American

In the land of the free

Where no one is free

Unless you fit a certain criteria

Unless you're just like him

Not just the same sex or race

But if you have the same beliefs and ideas

But I don't

So in the next 1920 days

Will I get hurt

Will I cry

Will I fear for my life

As an American

In the land of the free

Where no one is free

    What do I do if falling in love

    Is like free-falling but not knowing where
