Scared

I woke in the middle of the night

Oblivious to the pain that would come in 4 hours 

When I woke up to my dad next to my bed a sad look on his face

My world shattered.

My perception of things crumbled

All I could think about was the fact that this man was now going to be in charge of the free world in two months.

I was and am scared.

Even now, I am still horrified at the reality that is now our world.

I try to forget about it but my mind strays back to the thought lingering in my mind.

Like a curtain of black, endless void shrouding my thoughts.

I am scared and it's okay for you to be too.

We can be scared together.

We can get through this 

Together.
