We Can’t Let Him Win

I could ramble on all day about the ethics of all the things our country’s done. 

But I won’t. 

Instead I’ll say this one thing: it’s going to happen again. 

Everything he’s done, it’s going to happen again or at least, continue happening. 

With a president like him, how could it not? 

But we ignore this.

We pretend like it’s a one-time thing.

Because we’re too scared to admit that maybe it’s going to happen again.

Too scared to protest unless we have nothing to lose.

Stand up.

Say no.

Please.

We can’t let him win.

  • A Laugh and a Smile

    The sky smiles when you laugh and so do I.

    Even though we barely know each other, I feel as though I've known you for a million years.

    Your laugh.

    Your smile.

    Everything I've seen and all that I haven't.

  • Sleeping Beauty’s Dreams

    People say Sleeping Beauty dreamed of her prince in the hundred years she slept.

    But that’s not true, not in the least.

    She dreamt of a world where she needed no prince to wake her, where she could wake herself.
