I'm not, and yet

I'm not responsible

And yet I have responsibilities

I'm not my siblings parent

And yet I am expected to parent them

I'm not that smart

And yet I must be right

I'm not mature

And yet I do the mature things I am asked to do

I'm not an adult

And yet I have to adult

I'm not supposed to worry about anybody but myself

And yet no one else will

I'm not better than anyone

And yet I can't be average

I'm not anything

And yet I have to be everything

    With this president

    I will not sleep tonight

    I will worry and fret

    About the outcome

    Of this election

    This election

    Will either be a blessing

    Or a curse

    For the next 4 years

    I will not stop thinking
