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

    I always thought it would be like the movies

    Beach trips and ice cream

    Field trips and cheering on sports teams

    Late nights with fairy lights

    My first kiss

    That feeling of bliss

    It’s not
