A river of tears

Every day when we stand for the pledge I feel like a curtain has fallen over me.

holding me down.

I remember who is president for the next four years.

And I want to cry.

I want to sit down and cry a river of tears.

Because sometimes dread and fear grip me and I want the world to stop and let me be sad.

I want the world to let me cry a river of tears.

Then when I am done I want the world to know that I am now ready for anything they hurl my way.

I want the world to know that I can do anything I put my mind to.

And that they should not underestimate what this generation can do.

What we WILL do.

And I believe that to be: Try our best to make the world a better place and never give up.
