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

    Why can’t I be both 

    Why can’t I like

    Crop tops 

    And still support

    Women’s rights

    Why can’t I wear makeup 

    And still think 

    All bodies

    Are beautiful 

    Why is it bad

    One foot

    Infront of the other

    Head held high

    Flat expression

    On my face

    The only sign

    Of any emotion

    Are my fists

    Clenched by my sides

    Or my thumb

    Tapping each finger

  • I'm Sorry

    I'm sorry 

    I'm sorry for what 

    My country is doing 

    For what we seem to think 

    Is OK   

    I'm sorry for how 

    My president is acting
