I am angry
That we could have
Someone
In control
Of our country
Who is a fraud
A liar
A rapist
A cheater
A horrible person
I am scared
For girls
For gay people
For trans people
For nonbinary people
I'm sad
That our country
Has come to be
A nation
Filled with fear
And anger
Filled with people
Who want
Fundamental human rights
But can't get them
I
Do
Not
Like
This
I have never wanted
Something more than I do now
The problem is
I don't know what
I don't know what
I long for
What I reach for
It's like a dream
Blurry and unrecognizable
I want this thing
In the car
After dark
With the headlights shining
On the wet pavement
Like stars on the ground
I curl up in my seat
And the news is on
Voices fill the car
Not my own
Not my dads
I want that feeling
The thing in books
In movies
The fictional love
The one I dream about
The one that I see online
The one I read about
I want not just the butterflies
