I Am Angry

I am angry at the world 

I am angry at it’s injustice 

I am angry at America 

I am angry that we let this happen 

I am angry at everyone

Who voted away my rights

Who decided I didn’t matter

I am angry at so many things

But I haven’t done a thing

Because I am scared

I am scared of the consequences

I am scared of the reality 

I am scared of the truth

I shouldn’t be

But I am

I don’t know what’s stronger

My fear

Or my anger

What do I let prevail

What do I let overpower 

Do I let anger take the reins

Do stop hiding 

Yell and scream at the cruelty and injustice 

Of our world

Or

Do I cower and let fear consume me

Do I build up walls of armor

For my safety 

Could I do something

People would find insane

Could I do it 

I am angry 

I am scared

I think I am more angry

Than scared

  • Kid Or Adult

    We're only kids

    But we need to be

    As mature as adults

    We're little kids

    It's not safe

    But we're basically an adult

    So we can have adult responsibilities

    We can't stay up with friends

  • Panic Attacks

    I thought I had gotten better

    Thought I had everything under control

    I have everything under control

    Right?

    I thought they were gone

    But they're right there

    Sitting behind me

    Breathing into my ear
