The things I take for granted
I am grateful
For the feeling of joy
The feeling of peace
Of happiness
I am grateful for
My little sister's cheery face
My friend's laughter

I Am Angry
I am angry at the world
I am angry at it’s injustice
I am angry at America
I am angry that we let this happen
I am angry at everyone

I don't know what it is
I have never wanted
Something more than I do now
The problem is
I don't know what
I don't know what
I long for
What I reach for
It's like a dream
Blurry and unrecognizable
I want this thing

Reporters
In the car
After dark
With the headlights shining
On the wet pavement

And the news is on
Voices fill the car
Not my own
Not my dads

I want that feeling
The thing in books
In movies
The fictional love
The one I dream about
The one that I see online
The one I read about
I want not just the butterflies

I grew up in a messed-up world
I grew up in a world that taught me I should be "Ladylike"
My grandparents tell me "Well that's not very ladylike."
My parents say, "Why do you act like that."
What is ladylike?

Dear younger me
You are music.
You are art.
You are the flowers in your hair.
You are mismatched fuzzy socks.
You are your elephant dress over polka-dot leggings.
You are rain.
You are sunshine.

Alone
I do what I’m told
I have friends
I try my best
But it isn’t enough

A failure
But for some people it’s a win
I don’t want to squash their victory
I don’t know how to feel

Today my grief is loud
She is shaky and terrified
I hold her gently in my arms
