When did our country become a monarchy?
When did it become an autocracy?
We vote, yes
But this new ruler
This new president
This new king
He’s broken law after law
Stripped away peoples rights
Done things no ruler should do
He’s not a president
He’s a king
A dictator
And now our country is an autocracy.

Gentle as water sliding down your face,
A voice like a bell.
A smile as delicate as a rose,
But as strong as an eagle.
Hands and arms with ink scribbled over them like tattoos.
Hair like a sunset.
Every time I open my eyes I see a different world staring back at me.
Sometimes it’s beautiful.
Sometimes I hate it.
Lately, I've seen more hate than love.
Freedom is a concept I think about often.
A concept I don't really understand.
Yes, we have it.
But it often feels like we don't.
How am I supposed to see how free I truly am, when I just feel trapped?
