Maybe Someday

Ya know

Sometimes I don’t think

That things will ever get better

Sometimes I don’t see

How they really could

But I’m not always like that

Sometimes I think

“Maybe someday”

“Maybe it will improve”

“Maybe war will lessen

Maybe tariffs will lower

Maybe we’ll have actual human decency “

But not right now

No

Right now

We are at war

Right now

We are failing as a country

To keep our people safe and free

But maybe someday

We’ll do better

We could see that all people 

Are created equal

We could see that minorities

Have rights too

We could be better

But that would take some major change

Different people in power

Different promises to the people

More acceptance

Less hate

So maybe we could do it

But it’s gonna take a while

But I’m willing to put in the work

I’m willing to speak out

What about you?

    Hello

    My name is Jaden

    I am fifteen

    And this is a poem

    About me

    About how I feel

    Being a teenager

    In 2025

     

    Distance

    Rain

    Endless nights

    With no end in sight

  • It Gets Better

    Sometimes
    I wake up
    And I just can’t
    I can’t get up
    I can’t go to school
    I can’t go get my meds
    Why?
    Because sometimes
    It’s too much
    Accepting this world
    Is just too much
    And I just can’t
    Make myself
