O Canada

O Canada

I am so sorry for what is going on

I apologize for a lot of people's actions

to specify, their stupid actions

 

O Canada

Vermont sends its condolences

we are trying hard to make our voices heard above the din

we want you to be separate from the US, too

we can hear each other, but others are deaf to our cries

 

O Canada

do not change

try to fight it

don't let the virus take over

keep sneezing

it'll end eventually

 

O Canada

this fight is not fair

this war is not considered

I give you courage for these hopefully only four years

 

O Canada

I'm so sincerely sorry

this mess needs to be cleaned up

the pom poms are littered everywhere

there are tiny pieces of cardstock under everything

the glitter glue is next to go

 

O Canada

keep pushing

keep fighting

keep defending yourself

help will be on the way soon

    Revival

    It's a band piece

    weird, I know

    it's from last year

    and we only played it in concert once

    but it means a lot to me

    it reminds me of a lot.

    Me

    How

    do others see me?

    Do they see a girl in gray cargo pants and light blue thermal quarter zip?

    Do they see a friend who loves them despite her crankiness?

    Do they see a quiet awkward girl who prefers books to people?
