Today
Today I've walked around school in a haze
I don't know what to do
How to feel
I don't understand
How he won again
I don't think I want to understand

Red:
The color of blood
The color of the hearts that are going to be ripped out
ripped out and thrown aside.
Red,
the color this country became
as of... yesterday?
White:
Some people vote, but never think,
Their choices shallow, quick to sink.
They cheer and boast, with voices loud,
But wisdom’s lost inside the crowd.
Results
In a country that was once blue
It is now red
It is now scary
Results
Flood in
From different states
Battleground states
Is there blood there?
Results
Determine our country
Freedom is to have the right to
Speak,
And to Think
But
What happened to that freedom?
Where did it go? Did we lose it, or did we never actually have it?
They tell us we can think what we want
I write too much of things that aren't real. The imagined fear and pain of living a life I haven't got.
This life I have, this life is real, and I am on the precipice of demise.
TW : MENTION OF ABUSE (PHYSICAL, MENTAL, SEXUAL) AND SLIGHT MENTION OF MURDER!
No.
I refuse to be afraid.
We are so caught in the coming climb
We forget to turn and see the cliffs we've scaled.
I am living in a country where a woman is bracing for a climb to greater heights
The people and our contrary...
This is just what I think...
Why do we blame everyone else?
Why can't we own our own mistakes?
No one can tell you what to do
I feel scared whenever I think about the election.
Because of what is at stake.
Because really it’s everything that’s at stake right now.
Freedom.
Justice.
No one can predict
Our country's future
Various people watching and waiting
Eager and scared for the outcome
When I write I don't really know what I'm doing or what I'm writing about. I get stuck, I want to write but don't know what to do or I try to write then totally go off topic.
