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.

  • A Call To Action

    We are a group of people mostly under the age of 18 that according to the government might as well not exist.

    We are underestimated by grown-ups

    Because we have not been through all of school.

  • Shrouding My Differences

    Almost every day I wear a hoodie.

    To hide a part of me that I can’t escape.

    It shrouds my difference from the world.

    So that I can seem normal.

    So I can fit in.

    So that nobody can pick on me about it.

  • Daily chaos

    Every day at school is chaos.

    The noise

    The people 

    All the people 

    Sometimes I want to hide in a corner 

    To get away.

    To recenter myself.

    So that I don’t break down.
