THE ENIGMA THAT IS AMERICA

It's so interesting that a country founded by people from hundreds of different places now looks down upon immigrants.

How the hell is it that one of the only things that count as part of our culture are based on hatred? The jokes, the mocking, the flat-out rude comments that are our country right now.

If you aren't a heterosexual, american, white man, you will be made fun of. 

And why?

Because that is what america is right now.

A melting pot of hate and disrespect.

The other countries in the world all look down upon the US. And why? Because our government is essentially a group of sexist, racist, homophobic, self-obsessed morons with a belief that they are better than everyone else.

I am ashamed to live here. I am ashamed that I am american. 

"Land of the free" Since when? 

Because they certainly didn't mean now. With MAGA and "your body my choice" and the deportations and the hate crimes and the racism and people not feeling safe every single day.

america is a sh*tstorm. 

and so many people are caught in it.

    I always said that it’d be the best day when I leave this school

    But I’m not so sure now.

    Sure, it wasn’t always easy,

    But I gained so much good:

    The best teacher I’ve ever had.

    The confidence I always needed.

    I will be the court jester

    But when you remind me of my past

    My lungs refuse to laugh

    Now I fall quiet

    A sad smile dances on my lips

    As I glance at you with pain in my eyes
