Why does the world pretend?

Why does the world pretend to act like nothing bad is happening?

Why does the government, meant to safeguard the people, suddenly make this a monarchy?

I find it stupid that some people think that this is all fine and dandy.

Why do schools not teach you about what’s going on now, but instead say that “throughout history bad things have happened but nothing bad is happening now.”  Even though the country is falling apart around them?

Why do people shield us from what is happening now?

Act like everything is fine, when it isn't?

That makes me mad.

It makes me mad that it seems like some people are okay with this bullshit happening in the government right now.

  • Worry

    Sometimes I worry that I will get treated differently because of my differences.

    I know that it probably won't happen in school with teachers

    but you can't stop kids from doing anything 

    not in middle school

  • A river of tears

    Every day when we stand for the pledge I feel like a curtain has fallen over me.

    holding me down.

    I remember who is president for the next four years.

    And I want to cry.

    I want to sit down and cry a river of tears.
