Today felt the same as yesterday.
Nothing changed
But there was a silence
That echoed in the voices
I heard.
Today felt as if nothing changed.
I got up, brushed my teeth,
Made my bed,
But I didn't think of the change
That happened last night.
But how does the world keep spinning,
How does the future become the past
When I'm not sure of my own future?
How is nobody else in my life showing emotion?
Why are we all silent
When this is when we need to speak most?

"Why are we all silent / When this is when we need to speak most" ugh, incredible line. The tone of this piece is strong, and I think you executed the idea perfectly. The comparison of the future and the past is so crazy, especially how we have proved to become a more accepting society, but we have regressed significantly with this election. This is very powerful for you to touch on your own life and how you view the coming years. Your writing is very admirable and your words have so much impact. I wish you the best.
Thank you so much. I think this election is incredibly important to how the future will play out. We are living during an incredible time in history.
