Tonight

I will not sleep tonight

I will worry and fret

About the outcome

Of this election

This election

Will either be a blessing

Or a curse

For the next 4 years

I will not stop thinking

About this night

Although my eyes are drooping

My mind is still racing

Full of worries

Full of fear

For the future of our country

I am afraid

I am scared

I am fearful

I am worried

I need her to win

Not just for the sake of

Our country

But for the sake of all

The little girls

For the sake of me

    My little sister

    Only 7 years old

    Innocent

    And yet strong willed

    She will grow up

    In this country

    With this president

    This person who calls himself

    A leader

    She will watch women

  • I'm not, and yet

    I'm not responsible

    And yet I have responsibilities

    I'm not my siblings parent

    And yet I am expected to parent them

    I'm not that smart

    And yet I must be right

    I'm not mature
